The ordered pair below is a solution to which equation? (2, 12) A.y=1/5x B.y=1/2x C. y = 2x D. y = 6x
Answer:
D. y = 6x
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to conclude which pair is a real solution to one of these equations, we need to evaluate the point in each equation.
Let:
\((x,y)=(2,12)\)
So, this pair will be a solution if when evaluating the value of x=2 in the function the result is y=12.
For A.
\(y(x)=\frac{1}{5}x \\\\y(2)=\frac{2}{5} =0.4 eq12\)
This pair is not a solution to this equation.
For B.
\(y(x)=\frac{1}{2}x\\\\y(2)=\frac{2}{2} =1 eq 12\)
This pair is not a solution to this equation.
For C.
\(y(x)=2x\\\\y(2)=2*2=4 eq 12\)
This pair is not a solution to this equation.
For D.
\(y(x)=6x\\\\y(2)=6*2=12\)
This pair is a solution to this equation.
