Question

Which of the following points are solutions to the equation 3x - 4y - 8 = 12?

Answer 1

Sorry I did it wrong.

Answer 2

Answer:

(0, -5) and (-16, -17)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can plug in the points into the function to test them.

(0, -5)

3(0) - 4(-5) - 8 = 12

20 - 8 = 12

12 = 12

(8, 2)

3(8) - 4(2) - 8 = 12

24 - 8 - 8 = 12

8 ≠ 12

(-16, -17)

3(-16) - 4(-17) - 8 = 12

-48 + 68 - 8 = 12

12 = 12

3(-1) - 4(-8) - 8 = 12

-3 + 32 - 8 = 12

21 ≠ 12

3(-40) - 4(-34) - 8 = 12

-120 + 136 - 8 = 12

8 ≠ 12
