Determine whether the ordered pair (2, 13) is a solution of the equation y = 4x + 5.

Explain what your answer (it being a solution, or not) tells you. In other words, what do you know about this point?

To find whether or not the set is a solution, we substitute the numbers in with the x and y values.

x=2

y=13
Which gives us...

13=4(2)+5
Now we ask ourselves, does this satisfy the equation?

13=13
Which it does. This tells us that the point (2,13) is on the line
y=4x+5
