Question

Is (3,8) a solution of the system?

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

8= -5(3)+1 is not a true statement because it equals -14 not 8

Answer 2

False

Explanation:

Substitute the point into each equation and see if it gives a true statement

y = -5x+1

8 = -5(3) +1

8 = -15+1

8 = -14

False so this is not a solution

We do not need to check the second equation since the first is false
