Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

B.- Only (-3,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

In an ordered pair the first coordinate is the $x$ coordinate, and the second coordinate corresponds to the $y$ coordinate.

Then we must substitute the given value of $x$ in the equation and verify that we get in return the defined value for $y$.

the options are

• $(-2,4)$

in this one $x = -2$, and $y=4$, so let's confirm:

$y=-3x-4\\y=-3(-2)-4\\y=-6-4\\y=2$this is not a solution since the $y$ values are not the same.

• $(-3,5)$

in this one $x= -3$ and $y=5$, let's also confirm:

$y=-3(-3)-4\\y=9-4\\y=5$in this one the values for $y$ are equal, this is a solution for the equation.

Answer 2

It’s B because 5 = -3(-3) - 4
5=9-4
Just plug in the numbers and see what works
