Question

Which ordered pair is a solution to the line whose equation is 2y=-3x-2

A.(2, -3) C. (2, -4)
B. (-3, 2) D. (-4, 2)

Answer 1

The solution would be C. (2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation: Equation: 2y = -3x - 2

1. (2, -3)

2(-3) = -3(2) - 2

-6 = -6 - 2

-6 = -8 (Not a solution)

2. (-3, 2)

2(2) = -3(-3) - 2

4 = 9 - 2

4 = 7 (Not a solution)

3. (2, -4)

2(-4) = -3(2) - 2

-8 = -6 - 2

-8 = -8 (Solution)

4. (-4, 2)

2(2) = -4(-4) - 2

4 = 12 - 2

4 = 10 (Not a solution)
