Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of y = x - 4?

( -3, -7 )

( 3, -7 )

( -3, 7 )

( 3, 7 )

Answer 1

The correct answer is (-3,-7). This is because you can plug it in and the two sides are equal to each other. When you plug -3 in for x, you subtract for from it and get -7 since the y term is -7 the answer is -7=-7, thus (-3, -7) is the answer.

Answer 2

(-3, -7) is your answer

an order pair follows the (x, y) pair, in which (in this case), x = -3, and y = -7

plug in to the respective places inside the equation.

y = x - 4

(-7) = (-3) - 4

-7 = -7 (true)

Therefore, (-3, -7) is your answer
