Question

Determine if the given ordered pair is a solution to the equation. Show work full.

y=-3x-13

(-1,15)

Answer 1

The ordered pair is not a solution of the equation

Explanation:

we know that

If a ordered pair is a solution of a linear equation, then the ordered pair must satisfy the linear equation

we have

`y=-3x-13`

Substitute the value of x and the value of y of the given ordered pair in the linear equation and analyze the results

For x=-1, y=15

`15=-3(-1)-13`

`15=3-13`

`15=-10` ----> is not true

so

the ordered pair not satisfy the equation

therefore

The ordered pair is not a solution of the equation
