Question 11 of 25

If the point (1, 4) is on the graph of an equation, which statement
must be true?
A. There are solutions to the equation for the values x = 1 and
x = 4.
B. The values x = 1 and y = 4 are the only values that make the
equation true.
C. The values x = 4 and y= 1 make the equation true.
D. The values x = 1 and y = 4 make the equation true.

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

simple : when we have a point defined as (1, 4), it means x = 1, y = 4.

and since the point is on the graph of a function/equation it means that when we use x = 1 and calculate the equation, we get 4 as result (= y). so yes, that means that both sides of the "=" sign are indeed equal for this pair of values, which makes the equation true.

but there will be usually many other pairs that do that too.
