To determine if the point (3, 1) is a solution to the equation \( y = 71x \), we can substitute \( x = 3 \) into the equation and check if the resulting value of \( y \) equals 1.
Substituting \( x = 3 \):
\[
y = 71 \cdot 3 = 213
\]
Since \( y = 213 \) when \( x = 3 \) and the point (3, 1) has a \( y \) value of 1, we see that \( 213 \neq 1 \).
Therefore, (3, 1) is **not** a solution to the equation \( y = 71x \).
Substituting \( x = 3 \):
\[
y = 71 \cdot 3 = 213
\]
Since \( y = 213 \) when \( x = 3 \) and the point (3, 1) has a \( y \) value of 1, we see that \( 213 \neq 1 \).
Therefore, (3, 1) is **not** a solution to the equation \( y = 71x \).
