Hi!

I can help you with joy!

  • Plug in the values and solve:
  • Instead of y, plug in 12 (the y-coordinate)
  • Instead of x, plug in 2 (the x-coordinate)
  • Then, if we end up with a true statement, then the ordered pair is a solution of the equation.
  • 12=6(2)
  • 12=12
  • Yeah! It worked! :)

Answer:

Yes, (2,12) is a solution of the equation y=6x.

Hope it helps.
