Question

WILL GIVE MEDAL AND FAN! explain why (4, 1) is not a solution to the equation y = 3x + 1

Answer 1

Well lets plug it in
When x=4 does y=1???
The only way to find out is to plug it into the equation
y=3(4)+1
=12+1
=13
So when x=4 then y=13
So therefore we can conclude that this line doesnt pass through the point (4,1)

Answer 2

\(\large \begin{array}{cccllll}
(&4,&1)\\
&{\color{brown}{ x}}&{\color{blue}{ y}}\\
\end{array}\implies {\color{blue}{ y}}=3{\color{brown}{ x}}+1\)

Answer 3

Thank you both! :)
