Answer:

The correct answer is D because both ordered pair when substituted to the equation, both sides of the equation didn't equal to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

All you do is substitute. (x,y)

A:

Substitute

7(1) - 2(5) = -5

Multiply the number inside the parentheses by the number outside.

7 - 10 = -5

Subtract the numbers.

-3 = -5

This is not the solution to the equation because the numbers on both sides don't equal to each other.

B:

Substitute

7(-1) - 2(1) = -5

Multiply the number inside the parentheses by the number outside.

-7 - 2 = -5

Subtract the numbers.

-9 = -5

This also not the solution to the equation because the numbers on both sides don't equal to each other.

C:

They both are not the solution to the equation because the numbers on both sides don't equal.
