Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B. only (-2, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph of the equation makes it easy to see that (-2, 9) is a solution and (2, -9) is not.

You can try these values of x in the equation to see what the corresponding y-values are.

  y = -2{-2, 2} +5 = {4, -4} +5 = {9, 1}

Points on the line are (-2, 9) and (2, 1).

(2, -9) is not a solution.
