Question

The point (-2, - 5) is on the line given by which equation below?​

Answer 1

The answer is A because negative two minus three is negative five

Answer 2

The answer to your question is the first choice

Explanation:

Data

Point = (-2, -5)

Process

Evaluate each of the equations on the point given.

A. y = x - 3

-5 = -2 - 3

-5 = -5 This is true so the point is on this line

B. y = 2x

-5 = 2(-2)

-5 = -4 The result is false so the point is not on this line

C. y = -3x

-5 = -3(-2)

-5 = 6 The result is false so the point is not on this line

D. y = x + 3

-5 = -2 + 3

-5 = 1 The result is false so the point is not on this line
