    Graph Point
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on determining if the point (a, 4a) lies on the graph of the equation y = 4x. By substituting x with a, the equation simplifies to y = 4a, confirming that 4a equals 4a. Therefore, the point (a, 4a) does indeed lie on the graph. The conclusion is affirmed with confidence, indicating a clear understanding of the relationship between the point and the equation. The analysis effectively demonstrates the validity of the point's position on the graph.

Determine if the given point lies on the graph of the equation.

(a, 4a); y = 4x

Solution:

Let y = 4a

Let x = a

y = 4x

4a = 4a

Yes, the point (a, 4a) lies on the graph of y = 4x.

Correct?

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
