Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation: y - 4 = 7 ( x - 6 )

a: (5,4)

b: (6,5)

c: both

d: neither

Answer 1

D. neither.

Explanation:

Let proof each point in the linear function:

`y = 4 + 7 \cdot (x-6)`

x = 5

`y = 4 + 7\cdot (5-6)`

`y = -3`

y = 6

`y = 4 + 7\cdot (6-6)`

`y = 4`

Neither of these points are solutions of the equation. Therefore, the right answer is D.
