Answer:
D. (2, 5)
Explanation:
In order to determine whether an ordered pair is on the graph of a given equation, when we plug the x-coordinate in for x and the y-coordinate in for y, the equation should hold true.
Let's try each of the answer choices:
A. (4, -3)
y = 4x - 3
-3 =? 4 * 4 - 3
-3 =? 16 - 3
-3 =? 13
This is clearly wrong, so eliminate A.
B. (3, 4)
y = 4x - 3
4 =? 4 * 3 - 3
4 =? 12 - 3
4 =? 9
This is clearly wrong, so eliminate B.
C. (1, -1)
y = 4x - 3
-1 =? 4 * 1 - 3
-1 =? 4 - 3
-1 =? 1
This is clearly wrong, so eliminate C.
D. (2, 5)
y = 4x - 3
5 =? 4 * 2 - 3
5 =? 8 - 3
5 =? 5
This is true, so D is the answer.
Our answer is thus D.
