Answer:
(1, - 5)
Explanation:
To determine which ordered pair is a solution
Substitute the x value into the right side of the equation and if the value is equal to the y- coordinate of the point then it is a solution.
(1, - 5)
y = - 4(1) - 1 = - 4 - 1 = - 5 ← True
(4, 15)
y = - 4(4) - 1 = - 16 - 1 = - 17 ≠ 15
(2, - 7)
y = - 4(2) - 1 = - 8 - 1 = - 9 ≠ - 7
(- 5, 1)
y = - 4(- 5) - 1 = 20 - 1 = 19 ≠ 1
(1, - 5) is a solution to the equation y = - 4x - 1
