Question

Linear Relationships Study Guide 1.) Select all the equations for which (-6, -1) is a solution. Show your work to prove that each solution is correct. A.y= 4x + 23 B. y = 6x C. y = 3x - 5 D. y = x E. y = -6 -

Answer 1

we have point (-6, - 1)

Now we will put these points in each equation,

y = 4x +23

put x = -6 and y = -1

-1 = 4 (-6) +23

-1 = -24 + 23

-1 = -1

LHS = RHS, so this equation has (-6 , -1) as solution.

y = 6x

put x = -6 and y = -1

-1 = 6 (-6)

-1 not= -36

LHS is not equal RHS, so (-6 , -1) is not a solution for that equation,

y = 3x - 5

put x = -6 and y = -1

-1 = 3 (-6) - 5

-1 = -18 - 5

-1 not= -23

LHS is not equal RHS, so (-6 , -1) is not a solution for that equation,

y= 1/6 x

put x = -6 and y = -1

-1 = -6/6

-1 = -1

LHS = RHS, so (-6 , -1) is a solution for that equation,
