Answer:

Explanation:

I can not see your answers to choose but with this equation for 2 variables, you can replace the values of x and y and see if that is right or not.

For example, to know (-2,5) is a solution, you replace x= -2 and y= 5

into this equation: -3x -y = 6

and you have: -3*(-2) -5 =6

or 6-5 =6, and you find that is impossible, so (-2.5) is not a solution.

Hope you understand it
