Answer

(6, 26) and (-2, 2) are the ones that are solutions to the given equation.

(5, -23) and (-9, -45) are not solutions to the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to check if each of the ordered pairs given is a solution to

y = 3x + 8

Option A

(6, 26)

x = 6, y = 26

y = 3x + 8

26 = 3 (6) + 8

26 = 18 + 8

26 = 26

This is a solution.

Option B

(5, -23)

x = 5, y = -23

y = 3x + 8

-23 = 3 (5) + 8

-23 = 15 + 8

-23 ≠ 23

This is not a solution.

Option C

(-2, 2)

x = -2, y = 2

y = 3x + 8

2 = 3 (-2) + 8

2 = -6 + 8

2 = 2

This is a solution.

Option D

(-9, -45)

x = -9, y = -45

y = 3x + 8

-45 = 3 (-9) + 8

-45 = -27 + 8

-45 ≠ -19

This is not a solution.

Hope this Helps!!!
