Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find which line the point is on
00:03 In each point, the left number represents the X-axis and the right number represents Y
00:06 Let's substitute the point in each line equation and see if it's possible
00:12 It's not possible, therefore the point is not on this line
00:16 Let's use the same method and find which line the point is on
00:19 Let's substitute in this line and check if it's possible
00:24 It's possible, therefore the point is on this line
00:29 Let's substitute in this line and check if it's possible
00:33 It's not possible, therefore the point is not on this line
00:36 Let's substitute in this line and check if it's possible
00:41 It's not possible, therefore the point is not on this line
00:44 And this is the solution to the question

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
