Answer:

Explanation:

Substitute (x, y) value in 5x - 4y and if you get 17 then (x , y) is the solution.

If you are getting 17, then (x, y) is not a solution.

1) (1 , -3)

5x - 4y = 5*1 - 4*(-3)

= 5 + 12

= 17

(1, - 3) is a solution.

2) (-6, 2)

5x - 4y = 5*(-6) - 4*2

= -30 - 8

= -38 ≠ 17

So, (-6 , 2) is not a solution.

3) (-3 , -8)

5x - 4y = 5*(-3) - 4* (-8)

= -15 + 32

= 17

So, (-3 , -8) is a solution.

4) (2 , 9)

5x - 4y = 5*2 - 4 *9

= 10 - 36

= -16 ≠ 17

So, (2 , 9) is not a solution
