Answer:
(7, 5.25) lies on the graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following values
x = 4, 6, 8, 12 and corresponding y values are:
y = 3, 4.5, 6, 9
Let us consider two points (4, 6) and (6, 4.5) and try to find out the equation of line.
Equation of a line passing through two points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is given as:
[tex]y=mx+c[/tex]
where m is the slope.
(x,y) are the coordinates from where the line passes.
c is the y intercept.
Here,
[tex]x_{1} = 4\\x_{2} = 6\\y_{1} = 3\\y_{2} = 4.5[/tex]
Formula for slope is:
[tex]m = \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
[tex]m = \dfrac{4.5-3}{6-4}\\\Rightarrow m = \dfrac{1.5}{2}\\\Rightarrow m = \dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]
Now, the equation of line becomes:
[tex]y=\dfrac{3}{4}x+c[/tex]
Putting the point (4,3) in the above equation to find c:
[tex]3=\dfrac{3}{4}\times 4+c\\\Rightarrow 3=3+c\\\Rightarrow c =0[/tex]
So, final equation of given function is:
[tex]y=\dfrac{3}{4}x[/tex]
OR
[tex]4y=3x[/tex]
As per the given options, the point (7, 5.25) satisfies the equation.
So correct answer is [tex](7, 5.25)[/tex].
