Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of this equation? -6x + y = 35 Click on the correct answer. (-1,-7 (-6,-1) (-1,-6) (-7,-1)​

Answer 1

The ordered pair (-6, -1) is the only solution.

Explanation:

-6x + y = 35

Let's plug in the points.

(-1, -7) --> -6(-1) - 7 = 6 - 7 = -1 which does not equal 35

(-6, -1) --> -6(-6) -1 = 35

(-1, -6) --> -6(-1) - 6 = 0 which does not equal 35

(-7, -1) --> -6(-7) - 1 = 41 which does not equal 35
