Answer:

Yes, (5,5) is a solution of y=x

Explanation:

A point is given as a coordinate pair, (x,y). The first number is x and the second number is y. A solution is a pair of numbers that will make the equation true.

To check if the point is a solution, fill in the first number in place of x in the equation. Then fill in the second number for the y.

Here we have the equation:

y = x

Substituting (filling in) we get:

5 = 5 a true statement. So (5,5) IS a solution.

Alternatively, you could graph the equation and verify that the point is on the graph. see image.
