The image asks whether the point \( (2, 1) \) makes the equation \( y = 3x \) true. Let's verify this by substituting \( x = 2 \) and \( y = 1 \) into the equation.

Given the equation \( y = 3x \):
- Substitute \( x = 2 \) into the equation:
  \[
  y = 3(2) = 6
  \]
- The equation gives \( y = 6 \), but the point \( (2, 1) \) has \( y = 1 \).

Since \( y = 1 \) does not equal \( y = 6 \), the point \( (2, 1) \) **does not** satisfy the equation \( y = 3x \). The answer is **No**.

1. What does it mean for a point to satisfy a linear equation?
2. How can you determine if a point lies on the graph of a line?
3. What is the slope of the line represented by \( y = 3x \)?
4. What would be the correct point that satisfies the equation \( y = 3x \) when \( x = 2 \)?
5. How can you find the equation of a line given two points?

**Tip:** Always plug in the values of \( x \) and \( y \) from a point to verify if it satisfies an equation.
