Answer:

(1,2)

Explanation:

Let's interpret "Give one set of solution of the equation" as "What is a point on the line of 4x – 5y = -6.

We aren't restrained to a particular point, such as the point of intersection of two lines. So we can pick any value of x or y and calculate the resulting value of y or x.

Lets choose a value for x of 1. Now calculate the resulting value of y:

4x – 5y = -6

4*(1) – 5y = -6

4 – 5y = -6

-5y = -10

y = 2

The point (1,2) is a solution to this equation:

4x – 5y = -6

4(1) – 5(2) = -6 ? [for point (1,2)]

4 - 10 = -6 YES
