Question

Is the ordered pair a solution of the equation?
y = -6x - 14, (-5,16)
a. yes
b. no

Answer 1

a. Yes

Explanation:

If you plug in the ordered pairs, the -5 is x and 16 is y.

The equation would look like this:

16=30x-14

Add 14 on both sides

14+16=30

30=30x

divide by 30 on both sides

1=1
