Question

Does the point make the equation true ?

Answer 1

(3, 4) does not make y = .5x + 1.5 true.

Explanation:

y = .5x + 1.5

(3, 4)

Substitute 3 for x and 4 for y and see if the two sides of the equation are equal to each other.

• 4 = .5(3) + 1.5
• 4 = 1.5 + 1.5
• 4 = 3

Since 4 ≠ 3, the point (3, 4) does not make the equation y = .5x + 1.5 true.
