Answer:

Each of the given pairs is not a solution to the given equation.

Explanation:

Put the x and y values ​​in the equation 4y = -7x + 5 and check the equality of the left and right side of the equation.

A. x = -5 and y = 0

L = 4(0) = 0

R = -7(-5) + 5 = 35 + 5 = 40

L ≠ R

B. x = -3 and y = 4

L = 4(4) = 16

R = -7(-3) + 5 = 21 + 5 = 26

L ≠ R

C. x = 1 and y = 3

L = 4(3) = 12

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

L ≠ R

D. x = 2 and y = -2

L = 4(-2) = -8

R = -7(2) + 5 = -14 + 5 = -9
