Answer:

Yes, the point satisfies the equation

Explanation:

Hi there!

We want to see if the point (0,0) will satisfy the equation y=2x

In other words, we want to see if the point will pass through the equation of the line

If a point passes through the equation, the values of the point will create a true statement if they are substituted into the equation

So substitute 0 for x and 0 for y to see if it will create a true statement

0=2(0)

multiply

0=0

The end result is a true statement, so the point passes through the equation

Hope this helps!
