Answer:
No, the pair is not a solution to the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the pair to be a solution to the equation, x = -2 must lead to y = 8, o =r vice versa. This leads to being able to solve it two ways either through x or through y.
I'll solve it through x:
y = -2x - 1
with x = -2
y = -2 * - 2 - 1
y = 4 - 1
y = 3
Since y = 3, when x = -2 the pair (-2,8) is not a pair to the solution of the equation.
PS: You can double check by solving through y and you'll find x = -4.5
Answer:
Nerys pays 3.1/3.84,5=84,5£per year
Eleri pays 3.84,5=253,5£per year
253,5-84,5=169£ more pay Eleri
So slope=rise/run
rise=8
run=12
8/12=4/6=2/3
the slope=2/3

Equation is 
Center is (-1, -2)
Radius = 5
===========================================
Work Shown:

center = (h,k) = (-1,-2)
radius = 5
-----------------------------
Explanation:
I grouped up the x and y terms separately. Then I added 1 to both sides to complete the square for the x terms. I cut the 2 from 2x in half, then squared it to get 1. In the next step, I cut the 4 from 4y in half to get 2, which squares to 4. So that's why I added 4 to both sides to complete the square for the y terms.
Each piece is factored using the perfect squares factoring rule which is a^2+2ab+b^2 = (a+b)^2
The last equation is in the form (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
We can think of x+1 as x - (-1) to show that h = -1
Similarly, y+2 = y-(-2) = y-k to show that k = -2
The center is (h,k) = (-1,-2)
The radius is r = 5 because r^2 = 5^2 = 25 is on the right hand side in the last equation above.
