Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are verifying that (1, 8) is a point on the line:

y = 3x + 5.

We can accomplish this by plugging in the given x- and y-coordinates and seeing if the equation is true:

8 = 3(1) + 5  ?

8 = 8  ✔

So, (1, 8) IS a point on the line.

Answer: It does

Step-by-step explanation:

How do we tell whether a pair of x and y-coordinates solves the given equation?

This is quite simple, all we need to do is plug in the x and y-coordinates, simplify, and see whether or not the equation is true.

y = 3x + 5

(8) = 3(1) + 5 [plug in our values]

8 = 3 + 5

8 = 8 [add like terms]

8 does indeed equal the value 8, so the pair of x and y-coordinates does solve the equation.
