it is not a solution of the linear equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if it is an ordered pair, we will insert the value of x into the equation. If the y value we get is equal to the y value in the ordered pair, then it is a solution.

y = 3x - 5.1

when x = -1/2

y= 3(-1/2) -5.1

y = -3/2 -5.1

y = -1.5 -5.1

y = -6.6

The y value obtained (-6.6) is different from the y value in the ordered pair (-3.1).

Hence, it is not a solution of the linear equation.
