Is (0, 3) a solution to the equation y = 6x? Choices: (A)yes (B)no

Understand Solution Criteria: Understand what it means for a point to be a solution to an equation. A point is a solution to an equation if, when the x and y values of the point are substituted into the equation, the equation is satisfied (both sides are equal).Substitute Values: Substitute the x and y values of the point (0, 3) into the equation y = 6x. Substitute x = 0 and y = 3 into the equation to see if it holds true. 3 = 6 * 0Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication on the right side of the equation. 6 * 0 = 0Compare Results: Compare the results of the substitution to the original equation. After substitution and calculation, we have 3 = 0, which is not true.Determine Solution Status: Determine if the point (0, 3) is a solution to the equation. Since 3 does not equal 0, the point (0, 3) is not a solution to the equation y = 6x.

Understand Solution Criteria: Understand what it means for a point to be a solution to an equation. $\newline$ A point is a solution to an equation if, when the $x$ and $y$ values of the point are substituted into the equation, the equation is satisfied (both sides are equal).
Substitute Values: Substitute the $x$ and $y$ values of the point $(0, 3)$ into the equation $y = 6x$ . $\newline$ Substitute $x = 0$ and $y = 3$ into the equation to see if it holds true. $\newline$ $3 = 6 \times 0$
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication on the right side of the equation. $6 \times 0 = 0$
Compare Results: Compare the results of the substitution to the original equation. $\newline$ After substitution and calculation, we have $3 = 0$ , which is not true.
Determine Solution Status: Determine if the point $(0, 3)$ is a solution to the equation. $\newline$ Since $3$ does not equal $0$ , the point $(0, 3)$ is not a solution to the equation $y = 6x$ .
