Question

Which ordered pairs in the form (x, y)(x, y) are solutions to the equation

4x−5y=244x−5y=24

Select each correct answer.

(−9, −12)(−9, −12)

(6, 0)(6, 0)

(4, 8)(4, 8)

(1, −4)

Answer 1

(−9, −12)

(6, 0)

(1, −4)

Answer 2

4x - 5y = 24

4(6) - 5(0) = 24
24 - 0 = 24
24 = 24 (correct)....so (6,0) is a solution

4(1) - 5(-4) = 24
4 + 20 = 24
24 = 24 (correct)...and (1,-4) is a solution
