Question

Does the point (9, 3) satisfy the linear equation y = (1/3)x + 1 ?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we plug in the value of the x-coordinate (9) and the value of the y-coordinate (3).

• 
  `3 = (1)/(3)*9 + 1`
• 
  `3 = 3 + 1`
• 
  `3\\eq 4`

As you can see, 3 is not equal to 4. Therefore, the point does not satisfy the linear equation y = 1/3(x) + 1.
