Question

1. TRUE OR FALSE and explain. The coordinate pair (-3, 7) is the solution of the system of equations made up

of y = – 3x – 2 and y - 10 = 2/3(x-6).

Answer 1

FALSE, when we plug in the coordinates (-3,7) in the equation, it isn’t true. Therefore, it isn’t the solution.

Explanation:

You plug the coordinates (-3,7) in the equation and see if it’s true

Y= -3x-2

7=-3(-3)-2

7=9-2

7=7

Y-10=2/3(x-6)

7-10=2/3((-3)-6)

-3=-7 (FALSE!!!)
