Question

Determine which ordered pair is NOT a solution of y = -4x - 2.a. (-5,21)b. (3,-14)c. (-1,2)d. (-9,34)Please select the best answer from the choices providedABCD

Answer 1

A. (-5, 21)

Explanation

Given the equation:

`y=-4x-2`

Evaluating it at x = -5, we get:

`\begin{gathered} y=-4\cdot(-5)-2 \\ y=20-2 \\ y=18 \end{gathered}`

Then, the ordered pair (-5, 18) is a solution to the equation. In consequence, the ordered pair (-5, 21) is not a solution.
