which is a solution of the equation y=4x+3? is the answer (5,17) or (17,5) or (4,19) or (4,16)?
Answers
Given:
An equation of a line, y = 4x + 3,
To Find:
Which of the following point lies on the given line?
1. (5,17) 2. (17,5) 3. (4,19) 4. (4,16)
Solution:
The given problem can be solved using the properties of 2D coordinate geometry.
1. The given line equation is y = 4x +3,
=> For a point to lie on the line, the values after substitution must be the same on LHS and RHS.
Option 1: (5, 17)
=> 15 = 4 x 5 + 3,
=> 15 = 23 (Incorrect equality, hence incorrect option).
Option 2: (17, 5)
=> 5 = 4 x 17 + 3,
=> 5 = 84 (Incorrect equality, hence incorrect option).
Option 3: (4, 19)
=> 19 = 4 x 4 + 3,
=> 19 = 19. (Equality is mathced, hence this point lies on the given line).
Option 4: (4, 16)
=> 14 = 4 x 4 + 3,
=> 14 = 19. (Incorrect equality, hence incorrect option).
Therefore, Option 3 (4, 19) lies on the line y = 4x + 3.
