Q. Is (4,9) a solution to the equation y=x+5?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 x-value: Substitute the x-value of the point (4,9) into the equation y=x+5.Substitute x=4 into the equation to find the expected y-value.Expected y-value = 4+5=9.
Check y-value Match: Check if the y-value of the point (4,9) matches the expected y-value from the equation.The y-value of the point is 9, which matches the expected y-value we calculated in Step 2.
Conclude Solution Status: Conclude whether the point (4,9) is a solution to the equation y=x+5. Since the y-value of the point matches the expected y-value when the x-value is substituted into the equation, the point (4,9) is indeed a solution to the equation y=x+5.
