Answer 1

so basically for this problem you're just going to plug in the point (3,-3) into every equation, keeping in mind that the 3 is the x value and that the -3 is the y value. once you plug it in you can just use order of operations (pemdas) to solve.

the equations that do work with the point (3,-3) are (2x+4y=-6)

(2x-3y=15)

(8x+3y=15)

(7x-2y=-24)

Step-by-step explanation:

so to work one of these problems you take (2x+4y=-6) and plug in your variables.

2(3)+4(-3)=-6

then you're going to multiply

6-12=-6

the subtract the negative twelve from the 6

-6=-6

so we get a true statement. if you do this and the two numbers don't match then the equation does not work with your point. I hope this helps!
