Q. Does (3,1) make the equation y=x+2 true?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Identify values: Identify the values of x and y in the point (3,1). We have x=3 and y=1.
Substitute values: Substitute the values of x and y into the equation y=x+2.Substitute 3 for x and 1 for y to see if the equation holds true.Equation after substitution: 1=3+2
Perform addition: Perform the addition on the right side of the equation.Calculate 3+2 to get 5.Equation after calculation: 1=5
Determine equation: Determine if the equation 1=5 is true.Since 1 is not equal to 5, the equation 1=5 is not true.Therefore, the point (3,1) does not satisfy the equation y=x+2.
