Final answer:

The ordered pair (3, -4) is not a solution of the equation y = -x/3 - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the ordered pair is a solution of y = -x/3 - 2, we substitute the x and y values from the ordered pair into the equation and check if it is true.

  1. For the ordered pair (3, -4), we substitute x = 3 and y = -4. Plugging these values into the equation, we have:
    y = -3/3 - 2
    y = -1 - 2
    y = -3
  2. Since -3 is not equal to -4, the equation is not satisfied for the ordered pair (3, -4).

Therefore, the ordered pair (3, -4) is not a solution of the equation y = -x/3 - 2.
