Question

Consider the equation

y=2/3x-5
Which of the following ordered pairs are solutions to the given equation? There may be more than one correct answer.
A. (0,0)
B. (-6,-9)
C. (-9,-10)
D. (12,3)

Answer 1

B. (-6, -9)

D. (12, 3)

Explanation:

y=mx+b is the format for this problem.

2/3 is m and -5 is b

The b is the y-intercept which is the point where the line crosses from one side of the graph to the other horizontally. You can see at -5, that is where that happens.

Then, to find the second point, you would move the -5 up 2 and right 3 points because the slope is 2/3.

You can then look at another point of the graph to find (-6, -9)
