Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation y=4x

Choices
(1,3)
(-1,-4)
(-4,-1)
(1,-4)

Answer 1

your answer is (-4,-1)

Answer 2

(-1,-4)

Explanation:

We shall substitute them in and see

y =4x

(1,3)

y =4(1) = 4 That is not 3 Not a solution

(-1,-4)

y = 4(-1) = -4 This is a solution

(-4,-1)

y = 4(-4) = -16 This is not -1 Not a solution

(1,-4)

y = 4(1) = 4 This is not -4 Not a solution
