Answer :

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if (2, 5) lies on the line, substitute x = 2 into the right side of the equation and if the value obtained equals y = 5, then it lies on the line.

3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 ← equals the y- coordinate of the given point

Thus (2, 5 ) lies on the line y = 3x - 1

Calculating the point by putting the value into the given line:

Given:

Point: [tex]\bold{(2,5)}[/tex]

Line: [tex]\bold{ y=3x-1}[/tex]

To find:

Solution:

Point: [tex]\bold{(2,5)}[/tex]

[tex]\to \bold{x=2}\\\\\to \bold{y=5}\\\\[/tex]

Putting the point value into the given line equation:[tex]\to \bold{y=3x-1}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (equation) \\\\\to \bold{5=3(2)-1}\\\\\to \bold{5=6-1}\\\\\to \bold{5=5}\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, the final answer is "yes".
