Step-by-Step Solution

To find which point lies on the graph of the function y=2x+1 y = 2x + 1 , we will substitute the x x values from each choice and see if the output y y matches the y y of that point.

Let's evaluate each point:

  • For (0,0) (0,0) : Substitute x=0 x = 0 into y=2x+1 y = 2x + 1 , we get y=2(0)+1=1 y = 2(0) + 1 = 1 . Does not match y=0 y = 0 .
  • For (3,10) (3,10) : Substitute x=3 x = 3 into y=2x+1 y = 2x + 1 , we get y=2(3)+1=7 y = 2(3) + 1 = 7 . Does not match y=10 y = 10 .
  • For (5,12) (5,12) : Substitute x=5 x = 5 into y=2x+1 y = 2x + 1 , we get y=2(5)+1=11 y = 2(5) + 1 = 11 . Does not match y=12 y = 12 .
  • For (4,9) (4,9) : Substitute x=4 x = 4 into y=2x+1 y = 2x + 1 , we get y=2(4)+1=9 y = 2(4) + 1 = 9 . Matches y=9 y = 9 .

Therefore, the point through which the function y=2x+1 y = 2x + 1 passes is (4,9) (4,9) .

Answer

(4,9) (4,9)

Exercise #2

Through which points does the following function pass?

y=12x+34 y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{3}{4}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to check each given point to determine if it lies on the line represented by the equation y=12x+34 y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{4} .

  • Check Point (1): (1,45) (1, \frac{4}{5})
    Substitute x=1 x = 1 into the function:
    y=12(1)+34=12+34=24+34=5445 y = \frac{1}{2}(1) + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \neq \frac{4}{5} .
    The point does not lie on the line.

  • Check Point (2): (1,214) (1, 2\frac{1}{4})
    Substitute x=1 x = 1 :
    y=12(1)+34=54214 y = \frac{1}{2}(1) + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \neq 2\frac{1}{4} .
    The point does not lie on the line.

  • Check Point (3): (3,214) (3, 2\frac{1}{4})
    Substitute x=3 x = 3 :
    y=12(3)+34=32+34=64+34=94=214 y = \frac{1}{2}(3) + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{4} = 2\frac{1}{4} .
    The point lies on the line.

  • Check Point (4): (4,234) (4, 2\frac{3}{4})
    Substitute x=4 x = 4 :
    y=12(4)+34=2+34=84+34=114=234 y = \frac{1}{2}(4) + \frac{3}{4} = 2 + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} = 2\frac{3}{4} .
    The point lies on the line.

The points (3,214) (3, 2\frac{1}{4}) and (4,234) (4, 2\frac{3}{4}) satisfy the equation, indicating that these points are on the line.

Exercise #3

Through which points does the function below pass?

y=2(x+2)1 y=2(x+2)-1

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine through which points the function y=2(x+2)1 y = 2(x+2) - 1 passes, let's proceed methodically.

Step 1: Simplify the expression of the linear function:

The given function is y=2(x+2)1 y = 2(x+2) - 1 . Distribute the 2 2 over the terms inside the parenthesis:
y=2x+41 y = 2x + 4 - 1

Simplify further by combining like terms:
y=2x+3 y = 2x + 3

Step 2: Evaluate the function at different x x -values to find which points lie on the line represented by the function y=2x+3 y = 2x + 3 .

Step 3: Check each of the provided choice points:

  • For choice (0,0) (0,0) : Substituting x=0 x = 0 into y=2x+3 y = 2x + 3 , we get y=2(0)+3=3 y = 2(0) + 3 = 3 . This does not match y=0 y = 0 .
  • For choice (10,13) (10,13) : Substituting x=10 x = 10 into y=2x+3 y = 2x + 3 , we get y=2(10)+3=23 y = 2(10) + 3 = 23 . This does not match y=13 y = 13 .
  • For choice (5,13) (5,13) : Substituting x=5 x = 5 into y=2x+3 y = 2x + 3 , we get y=2(5)+3=13 y = 2(5) + 3 = 13 . This matches y=13 y = 13 , so this point lies on the line.
  • For choice (4,13) (4,13) : Substituting x=4 x = 4 into y=2x+3 y = 2x + 3 , we get y=2(4)+3=11 y = 2(4) + 3 = 11 . This does not match y=13 y = 13 .

Therefore, the point through which the given function passes is (5,13) (5,13) .

Answer

Exercise #4

The point (4,19) (4,19) is located in the graph

y=2(x+6)1 y=2(x+6)-1

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll verify whether the point (4,19)(4, 19) lies on the graph of the function y=2(x+6)1y = 2(x + 6) - 1.

  • Substitute x=4x = 4 into the function.
  • Calculate the resulting y-value.
  • Compare this y-value to 19 to determine if (4,19)(4, 19) is on the graph.

Let's perform these steps:

Step 1: Substitute x=4x = 4 into the function:

y=2(4+6)1 y = 2(4 + 6) - 1

Step 2: Simplify the expression:

y=2×101=201=19 y = 2 \times 10 - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19

The calculated y-value is 19.

Step 3: Compare the calculated y-value with the y-coordinate of the point:

Since the calculated y-value (19) matches the y-coordinate of the point (19), the point (4,19)(4, 19) does indeed lie on the graph.

Thus, the answer is: Yes (the point lies on the graph).

Answer

Yes

Exercise #5

Choose the graph of the function that passes through the point (12,5) (\frac{1}{2},5)

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll proceed by comparing each answer choice through substitution:

  • Choice 1: y=4x y = -4x
    Substitute x=12 x = \frac{1}{2} : y=4×12=2 y=-4\times\frac{1}{2}=-2
    Does this equal 5? No, so this choice is incorrect.

  • Choice 2: y=4x y = 4x
    Substitute x=12 x = \frac{1}{2} : y=4×12=2 y=4\times\frac{1}{2}=2
    Does this equal 5? No, so this choice is also incorrect.

  • Choice 3: y=4x+3 y = -4x + 3
    Substitute x=12 x = \frac{1}{2} : y=4×12+3=2+3=1 y=-4\times\frac{1}{2}+3=-2+3=1
    Does this equal 5? No, this choice is incorrect as well.

  • Choice 4: 4x=y3 4x = y - 3
    Substitute x=12 x = \frac{1}{2} and y=5 y = 5 : 4×12=53  4 \times \frac{1}{2} = 5 - 3 \ which simplifies to2=2  2 = 2 \
    This equation holds true with the given point.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 4x=y3 4x = y - 3 .

Answer

4x=y3 4x=y-3

Exercise #6

Choose the graph of the function that passes through the point (2,8) (2,8)

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will check which of the given functions passes through the point (2,8)(2, 8) by substituting x=2x = 2 and verifying if the resulting yy-value is 8.

  • Check each function:
  • 1. For y=x4y = \frac{x}{4}:

Substitute x=2x = 2:
y=24=12y = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
This does not satisfy the condition y=8y = 8.

  • 2. For y=4xy = 4x:

Substitute x=2x = 2:
y=4×2=8y = 4 \times 2 = 8
This satisfies the condition y=8y = 8.

  • 3. For y=4xy = -4x:

Substitute x=2x = 2:
y=4×2=8y = -4 \times 2 = -8
This does not satisfy the condition y=8y = 8.

  • 4. For y=x4y = x^4:

Substitute x=2x = 2:
y=24=16y = 2^4 = 16
This does not satisfy the condition y=8y = 8.

Therefore, the only function that passes through the point (2,8)(2, 8) is y=4xy = 4x.

Thus, the solution to the problem is y=4xy = 4x.

Answer

y=4x y=4x

Exercise #7

y=34x+4 y=\frac{3}{4}x+4


Through which points does the above function pass?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine which point the function y=34x+4 y = \frac{3}{4}x + 4 passes through, we will evaluate the given choices:

  • Evaluate the function for x=12 x = \frac{1}{2} :

y=34×12+4 y = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} + 4

y=38+4 y = \frac{3}{8} + 4

y=38+328 y = \frac{3}{8} + \frac{32}{8}

y=358 y = \frac{35}{8}

Thus, the coordinate (12,358) \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{35}{8}\right) lies on the graph.

Therefore, the function passes through the point (12,358) \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{35}{8}\right) .

Answer

(12,358) (\frac{1}{2},\frac{35}{8})

Exercise #8

Choose the graph of the function that passes through the point (12,412) (\frac{1}{2},4\frac{1}{2})

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the given point and convert to uniform representation.
  • Step 2: Substitute the point into each equation to find which is satisfied.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The problem provides the point (12,412) \left(\frac{1}{2}, 4\frac{1}{2}\right) , which can be expressed as (12,92) \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{9}{2}\right) .
Step 2: We will substitute x=12 x = \frac{1}{2} and y=92 y = \frac{9}{2} into each equation:

Choice 1: 2y=5x 2 - y = 5x

Substitute: 292=5×12 2 - \frac{9}{2} = 5 \times \frac{1}{2}
Simplify: 52=52 -\frac{5}{2} = \frac{5}{2} . This equation is not satisfied.

Choice 2: 5x=y2 5x = y - 2

Substitute: 5×12=922 5 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2} - 2
Simplify: 52=9242=52 \frac{5}{2} = \frac{9}{2} - \frac{4}{2} = \frac{5}{2} . This equation is satisfied.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 5x=y2 5x = y - 2 , which corresponds to choice 2.

Answer

5x=y2 5x=y-2

Exercise #9

Through which points does the function below pass?

y=6(2x+4)+x y=6(2x+4)+x

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Simplify the expression for y=6(2x+4)+x y = 6(2x+4) + x .
  • Step 2: Calculate y y at x=0 x = 0 .

First, let's simplify the expression for y y :

y=6(2x+4)+x y = 6(2x + 4) + x
=6×2x+6×4+x = 6 \times 2x + 6 \times 4 + x
=12x+24+x = 12x + 24 + x
=13x+24 = 13x + 24

Now, let's evaluate y y when x=0 x = 0 :

y=13(0)+24 y = 13(0) + 24
=0+24 = 0 + 24
=24 = 24

This means the function passes through the point (0,24) (0, 24) . Therefore, the solution to the problem is (0,24) (0, 24) .

Answer

(0,24) (0,24)

Exercise #10

Choose the graph of the function that passes through the point (6,80) (6,80)

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We want to find which function passes through the point (6,80) (6, 80) . This means we need the function to satisfy the equation y=80 y = 80 when x=6 x = 6 .

Let's evaluate the candidate functions one by one:

  • Function 1: y=5(x+10) y = 5(x + 10)
    Substitute x=6 x = 6 : y=5(6+10)=5×16=80 y = 5(6 + 10) = 5 \times 16 = 80 .
    This function gives the correct output, so it passes through the point (6,80) (6, 80) .

  • Function 2: y=x y = x
    Substitute x=6 x = 6 : y=6 y = 6 .
    The output 6 6 is not equal to 80 80 , so this function does not pass through (6,80) (6, 80) .

  • Function 3: y=2x+3 y = 2x + 3
    Substitute x=6 x = 6 : y=2(6)+3=12+3=15 y = 2(6) + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15 .
    The output 15 15 is not equal to 80 80 , hence this function does not pass through (6,80) (6, 80) .

  • Function 4: y=125x y = 12 - 5x
    Substitute x=6 x = 6 : y=125(6)=1230=18 y = 12 - 5(6) = 12 - 30 = -18.
    The output 18-18 is not equal to 80 80 , hence this function does not pass through (6,80) (6, 80) .

After checking all options, the function y=5(x+10) y = 5(x + 10) is the only one that satisfies the condition. Therefore, the correct answer is y=5(x+10) y = 5(x + 10) .

Answer

y=5(x+10) y=5(x+10)

Exercise #11

Choose the graph of the function that passes through the point (5,25) (5,25)

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, let's analyze each equation to determine which function's graph passes through the point (5,25) (5, 25) .

  • Equation 1: y=4x+1 y = 4x + 1
    Substitute x=5 x = 5 into equation: y=4(5)+1=20+1=21 y = 4(5) + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21
    This does not satisfy y=25 y = 25 .
  • Equation 2: y=5x+x y = 5x + x
    Substitute x=5 x = 5 into equation: y=5(5)+5=25+5=30 y = 5(5) + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30
    This does not satisfy y=25 y = 25 .
  • Equation 3: y=4x+x y = 4x + x
    Substitute x=5 x = 5 into equation: y=4(5)+5=20+5=25 y = 4(5) + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25
    This satisfies y=25 y = 25 .
  • Equation 4: y=3x+x y = 3x + x
    Substitute x=5 x = 5 into equation: y=3(5)+5=15+5=20 y = 3(5) + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20
    This does not satisfy y=25 y = 25 .

Upon evaluating all the options, Equation 3, y=4x+x y = 4x + x , is the only one that satisfies the condition y=25 y = 25 when x=5 x = 5 . Therefore, the function whose graph passes through the point (5,25) (5, 25) is y=4x+x y = 4x + x .

Answer

y=4x+x y=4x+x

Exercise #12

Look at the following function:

x=y4+2x x=y-4+2x

Through which of the following points does the graph of the function pass?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine through which point the function passes, we begin by simplifying the given equation.

Given: x=y4+2x x = y - 4 + 2x

Rearranging the terms to solve for y y :

x=y4+2x x = y - 4 + 2x

Subtract x x from both sides to isolate the terms involving y y :

0=y4+x 0 = y - 4 + x

Rearrange to solve for y y :

y=x+4 y = -x + 4

Now, we will test each point to see which satisfies the equation y=x+4 y = -x + 4 .

  • For (1,5) (-1, 5) , substitute x=1 x = -1 :
  • y=(1)+4=1+4=5 y = -(-1) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

    This point satisfies the equation.

  • For (0,5) (0, 5) , substitute x=0 x = 0 :
  • y=(0)+4=4 y = -(0) + 4 = 4

    This point does not satisfy the equation.

  • For (1,5) (1, 5) , substitute x=1 x = 1 :
  • y=(1)+4=1+4=3 y = -(1) + 4 = -1 + 4 = 3

    This point does not satisfy the equation.

  • For (2,5) (2, 5) , substitute x=2 x = 2 :
  • y=(2)+4=2+4=2 y = -(2) + 4 = -2 + 4 = 2

    This point does not satisfy the equation.

Therefore, the graph of the function passes through the point (1,5)(-1, 5).

Answer

(1,5) (-1,5)
