Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

y - 4 = 7(x - 6) Remove the brackets

y - 4 = 7x - 42 Add 4 to both sides

y = 7x - 42 + 4

y = 7x - 38

Note when you put this in slope, y intercept form, the ordered pair is easier to find.

Let x = 5

y = 7*5 - 38

y = 35 - 38

y = -3 (5,4) isn't right

Let x = 6

y = 7*6 - 38

y = 42 - 38

y = 4 That does not work either.

The answer is D
