Question

explain the steps you would take to determine if the point (4,7) is a solution to the equation y=1.25x+2

Answer 1

Answer:

Point (4,7) completely satisfies the equation and is a solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Equation: $y=1.25x+2$

To check if the point (4,7) is a solution to the given equation.

Solution:

The solution of an equation is given as $(x,y)$ which completely satisfies the equation.

To check if the point (4,7) is a solution to the given equation, we will plugin $x=4$ and $y=7$ in the given equation and see if it satisfies it or not.

Plugging in point (4,7) in the equation:

$7=1.25(4)+2$

Simplifying.

$7=5+2$

$7=7$

The above equation is always true, and hence point (4,7) completely satisfies the equation and is a solution to the equation.
