Question

The ordered pairs (2, -17) and (5, -35) are solutions to which of the following equations?

A y= -6x + 5
B y= 6x - 5
C y= 6x + 5
D y= -6x - 5

Answer 1

1. D

Step-by-step explanation:the answer to this problem is..

D. y = -6x - 5

Lets check

(2,-17)

Substituting y = -17 and x = 2 , we get,

-17 = -6 (2) -5

-17 = -12 - 5

-17 = -17

(5 , -35)

Substituting y = -35 and x = 5 , we get,

-35 = -6 (5) - 5

-35 = -30 - 5

-35 = -35
