Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation: We're going to have to substitute

in the coordinates of that ordered pair into the equation.

I am going to substitute in the x and substitute in the y.

So it's really 5(2) + 3(-3) = 1.

From here it should be pretty straightforward,

all we are doing is evaluating the statement.

Simplifying on the left we have 10 + -9 = 1 or 1 = 1.

Now we know that the ordered pair (2, -3) satisfies this equation.
