Which of the following points are on the line given by the equation y = 5x? Check all that apply. A. (0, 1) B. (3, 15) C. (4, 2) D. (3, 6) E. (-1, -5) F. (-1, 5)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Let's check choice A (0,1)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(0,1) means x = 0, y = 1 since all points are of the form (x,y)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Plug x = 0 and y = 1 into y = 5x to get y = 5x 1 = 5*0 1 = 0 ... this is false, so (0,1) is NOT on the equation y = 5x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You do the same with the other answer choices. If you get a true equation, then the point lies on the line. If you get a false equation, then the point doesn't lie on the line.
