Answer:

The pairs (12,0) , (3,-1) and (0,-4/3) make the equation x- 9 y = 12 TRUE.

Explanation:

Here, the given equation is x - 9 y = 12

Checking for each pairs individually:

a) For (12,0):

x - 9y = (12) - 9(0) = 12

and 12 = 12 (Right Side).

Hence, (12,0) satisfies the equation.

b) For (0,12):

x - 9y = 0 - 9(12) = -118

and -118 ≠ 12 (Right Side).

Hence,(0,12) DO NOT satisfy the equation.

c) For (3,-1):

x - 9y = 3 - 9((-1) ) = 3 + 9 = 12

and 12 = 12 (Right Side).

Hence, (3,-1) satisfies the equation.

d) For (0,-4/3):

x - 9y = 0 - 9((-4/3) ) = 0 + 12 = 12

and 12 = 12 (Right Side).

Hence, (0,-4/3) satisfies the equation.

Hence, the pairs (12,0) , (3,-1) and (0,-4/3) make the equation x- 9 y = 12 TRUE.
