Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:06 Let's find out which points the function passes through.
00:10 At each point, the left number is X, and the right number is Y.
00:15 Let's plug each point into the line equation to see if it works.
00:21 It doesn't work, so this point is not on the line.
00:25 We'll do the same for other points to see which ones lie on the line.
00:30 Now, let's check the second point by substituting it into the line equation.
00:37 This one doesn't work either, so it's not on the line.
00:41 Let's try the third point now and substitute it into the line equation.
00:58 It works! So, this point is on the line.
01:02 Finally, let's check the fourth point by substituting it into the line equation.
01:15 This point doesn't work, so it's not on the line.
01:19 And that's how we determine which points are on the line.

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine which point the function y=34x+4 y = \frac{3}{4}x + 4 passes through, we will evaluate the given choices:

  • Evaluate the function for x=12 x = \frac{1}{2} :

y=34×12+4 y = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} + 4

y=38+4 y = \frac{3}{8} + 4

y=38+328 y = \frac{3}{8} + \frac{32}{8}

y=358 y = \frac{35}{8}

Thus, the coordinate (12,358) \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{35}{8}\right) lies on the graph.

Therefore, the function passes through the point (12,358) \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{35}{8}\right) .

Answer

(12,358) (\frac{1}{2},\frac{35}{8})
