To determine if the point (3, 9.5) lies on the line given by the equation \( y = \frac{19}{6}x \), we first need to substitute \( x = 3 \) into the equation and check if it produces \( y = 9.5 \).
Substituting \( x = 3 \):
\[
y = \frac{19}{6} \cdot 3
\]
Calculating \( \frac{19}{6} \cdot 3 \):
\[
y = \frac{19 \cdot 3}{6} = \frac{57}{6} = 9.5
\]
Now we can fill in the boxes:
1. The first box will be the \( x \) value we used: **3**
2. The second box will be the \( x \) value in the equation: **3**
3. The third box will be \( y \) from the point: **9.5**
4. The fourth box will be the calculated \( y \): **9.5**
So, it can be filled in as follows:
y = \(\frac{19}{6} \cdot 3\)
3 = \(\frac{19}{6} \cdot 3\)
9.5 = 9.5
Since both sides are equal, (3, 9.5) does indeed lie on the line \( y = \frac{19}{6}x \).
Substituting \( x = 3 \):
\[
y = \frac{19}{6} \cdot 3
\]
Calculating \( \frac{19}{6} \cdot 3 \):
\[
y = \frac{19 \cdot 3}{6} = \frac{57}{6} = 9.5
\]
Now we can fill in the boxes:
1. The first box will be the \( x \) value we used: **3**
2. The second box will be the \( x \) value in the equation: **3**
3. The third box will be \( y \) from the point: **9.5**
4. The fourth box will be the calculated \( y \): **9.5**
So, it can be filled in as follows:
y = \(\frac{19}{6} \cdot 3\)
3 = \(\frac{19}{6} \cdot 3\)
9.5 = 9.5
Since both sides are equal, (3, 9.5) does indeed lie on the line \( y = \frac{19}{6}x \).

The first box is incorrect.

Apologies for that oversight. Let's break it down again clearly to fill in the boxes correctly.
We are given the equation:
\[
y = \frac{19}{6}x
\]
We want to verify whether the point (3, 9.5) lies on the line formed by the equation.
1. We substitute \( x = 3 \) into the equation:
\[
y = \frac{19}{6} \cdot 3
\]
2. Now, let's calculate \( \frac{19}{6} \cdot 3 \):
\[
y = \frac{19 \cdot 3}{6} = \frac{57}{6} = 9.5
\]
Now we proceed to fill in the boxes:
1. First box (the value of \( y \) calculated): **9.5** (this is the left side of the equation).
2. Second box (the value of \( x \) where \( y \) becomes): **3**.
3. Third box (the \( y \) value from the point provided): **9.5**.
4. Fourth box (the calculated \( y \) using the equation): **9.5**.
So, the complete filling should be:
y = \(\frac{19}{6} \cdot 3\)
9.5 = \(\frac{19}{6} \cdot 3\)
9.5 = 9.5
