Answer:

(-3, -5) is not a solution of the equation 7x - 5y = 15

Explanation:

1) Knowing that coordinates are given to us as (x, y), plug in the ordered pair into the equation.
7(-3)-5(-5)=15

2) Do PEMDAS on the left side of the equation


  1. -21+25=15

  2. 4=15

  3. 4\\eq 15

Answer:

Not a solution

Explanation:

Hello!

We can determine if it's a solution by plugging in the x and y-values of the point into the equation. If both sides are equal to each other, then it is a solution.

-3 is the x-value and -5 is the y-value, since an ordered pari is written in the form of (x,y).

Evaluate

  • 7x - 5y = 15
  • 7(-3) - 5(-5) = 15
  • -21 + 25 = 15
  • 4 ≠ 15

Since both sides are not equal to each other, (-3,-5) is not a solution.
