Question

Thomas graphed the line that represents the equation y=34x.
Which ordered pairs represent points on the line?

Select all that apply.

(8,1/6)
(−2/3,1/2)
(4,3)
(2,3/2)
(−8,−6)

Answer 1

Answer:

The ordered pairs represent points on the line are

(4, 3) ⇒ C

(2, $\frac{3}{2}$ ) ⇒ D

(-8, -6) ⇒ E

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ordered pairs represent points on the line, substitute x by the x-coordinate of each point, if the value of y equals the y-coordinate of the point, then the point is on the line.

∵ The equation is y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x

∵ The ordered pair is (8, $\frac{1}{6}$ )

→ Substitute x by 8

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (8)

∴ y = 6

∵ The value of y does not equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (8, $\frac{1}{6}$ ) does not represent a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is ($\frac{-2}{3}$, $\frac{1}{2}$ )

→ Substitute x by $\frac{-2}{3}$

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ ($\frac{-2}{3}$)

∴ y = $\frac{-1}{2}$

∵ The value of y does not equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair  ($\frac{-2}{3}$, $\frac{1}{2}$ ) does not represent a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is (4, 3 )

→ Substitute x by 4

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (4)

∴ y = 3

∵ The value of y equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (4, 3) represents a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is (2, $\frac{3}{2}$ )

→ Substitute x by 2

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (2)

∴ y = $\frac{3}{2}$

∵ The value of y equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (2, $\frac{3}{2}$ ) represents a point on the line

∵ The ordered pair is (-8, -6 )

→ Substitute x by -8

∴ y = $\frac{3}{4}$ (-8)

∴ y = -6

∵ The value of y equal the y-coordinate of the ordered pair

∴ The ordered pair (-8, -6) represents a point on the line
