Question

For each ordered pair , determine wether it is a solution to y=6x+5

Answer 1

1. no

2. no

3. no

4. yes

Explanation:

Answer 2

The solutions for the equation are

(-2, 7)

(-5, -25)

How to find whether the options is a solution

In each option, we substitute the value of x and solve for y. Then we compare the value of y to the value given

For x = 7

y = 6(7) + 5

y = 47

No, this is not a solution

For x = 9

y = 6(9) + 5

y = 59

No, this is not a solution

For x = -2

y = 6(-2) + 5

y = 7

Yes, this is a solution

For x = -5

y = 6(-5) + 5

y = -25

Yes, this is a solution
