Question

Aaron graphed the equation x= y2 on a coordinate plane, while Jody graphed the equation y = x2. The ordered pair (1, 1) satisfies both equations. Which statement about the ordered pair (1, -1) is correct?

Answer 1

Order pair (1,-1) satisfies x = y² only

Explanation:

Given that

Equation graphed by Aaron = x = y²

Equation graphed by Jody = y = x²

Given that the coordinate pair (1,1) satisfies both the equations. lets check it for both equations one by one.

For equation (1)

1 = (1)²

1=1

For equation (2)

1 = (1)²

1=1

Now lets check both equations for ordered pair (1, -1)

For equation (1)

1 = (-1)²

1=1

For equation (2)

-1 = (1)²

-1=1 (False)

So this ordered pair satisfies the equation (1) only.
