Question

Determine whether the ordered pairs (1,4) and 6,

(6.23) are solutions of the following equation.
- 5x+6y= -5

Answer 1

Not solutions.

Explanation:

-5x+6y=-5

6y=-5+5x

6y=5x-5

y=5/6x-5/6

-5/6 is about -0.833

And the slope is 5/6.

So for every x there is 5/6y.

This means (1, 4) won't work cause it's too low.

Also 5/6*6=5. this is too low too.

So they aren't solutions.
