Answer:

A, B

Explanation:

Put the x- and y-values in the equation and simplify it to see if it is true.

a) (x, y) = (0, 6)

y = -2x +6

6 = -2(0) +6

6 = 6 . . . . . . . true. The ordered pair is a solution

__

b) 4 = -2(1) +6

4 = 4 . . . . . . . true. The ordered pair is a solution

__

c) -2 = -2(-2) +6

-2 = 10 . . . . . . . false. The ordered pair is not a solution

__

d) irrelevant
