Answer:

(7, 5.25) lies on the graph.

Explanation:

We are given the following values

x = 4, 6, 8, 12 and corresponding y values are:

y = 3, 4.5, 6, 9

Let us consider two points (4, 6) and (6, 4.5) and try to find out the equation of line.

Equation of a line passing through two points
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) is given as:


y=mx+c

where m is the slope.

(x,y) are the coordinates from where the line passes.

c is the y intercept.

Here,


x_(1) = 4\\x_(2) = 6\\y_(1) = 3\\y_(2) = 4.5

Formula for slope is:


m = (y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1))


m = (4.5-3)/(6-4)\\\Rightarrow m = (1.5)/(2)\\\Rightarrow m = (3)/(4)

Now, the equation of line becomes:


y=(3)/(4)x+c

Putting the point (4,3) in the above equation to find c:


3=(3)/(4)* 4+c\\\Rightarrow 3=3+c\\\Rightarrow c =0

So, final equation of given function is:


y=(3)/(4)x

OR


4y=3x

As per the given options, the point (7, 5.25) satisfies the equation.

So correct answer is
(7, 5.25).
