Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Convert the Equation to Slope-Intercept Form
The given equation is:
\[
y - 0.75 = 1.25(x - 3)
\]
To convert this to the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\), we first distribute the 1.25 on the right side:
\[
y - 0.75 = 1.25x - 3.75
\]
Next, add 0.75 to both sides to solve for \(y\):
\[
y = 1.25x - 3.75 + 0.75
\]
Simplify the equation:
\[
y = 1.25x - 3
\]
Step 2: Check Each Ordered Pair
We will substitute each ordered pair into the equation \(y = 1.25x - 3\) to see if it satisfies the equation.
Pair 1: \((4, 2)\)
Substitute \(x = 4\) and \(y = 2\):
\[
2 = 1.25(4) - 3
\]
Calculate the right side:
\[
2 = 5 - 3
\]
\[
2 = 2
\]
The pair \((4, 2)\) satisfies the equation.
Pair 2: \((1, 1.75)\)
Substitute \(x = 1\) and \(y = 1.75\):
\[
1.75 = 1.25(1) - 3
\]
Calculate the right side:
\[
1.75 = 1.25 - 3
\]
\[
1.75 = -1.75
\]
The pair \((1, 1.75)\) does not satisfy the equation.
Pair 3: \((7, 5.5)\)
Substitute \(x = 7\) and \(y = 5.5\):
\[
5.5 = 1.25(7) - 3
\]
Calculate the right side:
\[
5.5 = 8.75 - 3
\]
\[
5.5 = 5.75
\]
The pair \((7, 5.5)\) does not satisfy the equation.
