Question

Which of the following ordered pairs are a solution for the equation y=2x−5 (2, 0)(-1, -7)(-9, -2)(1, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 1, - 7 )

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute the x- coordinate into the equation and if the value obtained is equal to the y- coordinate, then it is a solution

(2, 0 ) → y = 2(2) - 5 = 4 - 5 = - 1 ≠ 0 ← not a solution

(- 1, - 7 ) → y = 2(- 1) - 5 = - 2 - 5 = - 7 → solution to equation

(- 9, - 2 ) → y = 2(- 9) - 5 = - 18 - 5 = - 23 ≠ 2 ← not a solution

(1, 3 ) → y = 2(1) - 5 = 2 - 5 = - 3 ≠ 3 ← not a solution
