Is (8, –2) a solution to the equation y = 2?

No it is not, because y=2 would just be a horizontal line across the 2 in the y axis. But (8,2) would be a solution.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Any point that aligns on the line of y = 2 is a solution. But (8, -2) falls below that line since the point's y-coordinate is equal to -2, not 2. Hope this helps!
