Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find which points are on the line
00:03 In each point, the left number represents the X-axis and the right represents Y
00:07 We'll substitute each point in the line equation and see if possible
00:21 Not possible, therefore the point is not on the line
00:24 We'll use the same method for all points and find which ones are on the line
00:28 Let's move to this point
00:44 Not possible, therefore the point is not on the line
00:47 Let's move to this point
00:59 Possible, therefore the point is on the line
01:03 Let's move to this point
01:14 Possible, therefore the point is on the line
01:20 And this is the solution to the question

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.
Therefore, the solution is Answers C and D are correct.
