Question

What ordered pair is a solution to this system of equations?

x = -1

y = 2x + 5


Group of answer choices

(3, 1)


(-1, 3)


(-1, 8)


(8, -1)

Answer 1

(-1,3)
Explanation: If x= -1 and y=2x+5 you would need to do 2(-1)+5
2(-1)+5
-2+5
3
y=3

(-1,3)

Answer 2

(-1,3)

you plug -1 into the equation y=2x+5 for x since that is what x is equal to and then solve it so y= -3 then your coordinates would be (1,-3)
