Question

ive just joined into a class from remote to now hybrid. we are doing how to find out if an ordered pair is a solution to the linear equation. i am so lost. please help.

Answer 1

Explanation:

You'll be given an equation that contains an x and a y.

You'll also be given an ordered pair. Plug the ordered pair into the equation and see if the equation is true.

For example:

Is (0,4) a solution to the equation 2x+3y = 15 ?

Plug the coordinates of (0,4) into the equation:

2·0 + 3·4 = 15

This simplifies to 12 = 15, which is obviously false, so (0,4) is not a solution to the equation.
