A point (x,y) is a solution to an equation if plugging in x and y results in a true statement.
Is (1,2) a solution of the equation y=2x?
A point is a solution to an equation if plugging in x and y results in a true statement.
Plug x=1 and y=2 into the equation and simplify.
y=2x
|
|
|
Plug in x=1 and y=2
|
|
Multiply |
Yes, 2=2.
So, the point (1,2) does satisfy the equation y=2x..
Is (1,0) a solution of the equation y=2x?
A point is a solution to an equation if plugging in x and y results in a true statement.
Plug x=1 and y=0 into the equation and simplify.
y=2x

|
|
Plug in x=1 and y=0
|
|
Multiply |
So, the point (1,0) does not satisfy the equation y=2x..
