Answer:

no

Explanation:

to see, plug in -5 for x and find your y outcome.

y = 7(-5) -5

y = -35 - 5

y = -40

since y does not equal 0, (-5,0) is not a solution for the equation.

Answer:

no

Explanation:

y = 7x − 5?

Substitute the point into the equation

0 = 7(-5) -5

0 = -35-5

0 = -40

This is not true so (-5,0) is not a solution
