Question

Can somebody help me with this?

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Only (-2, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out which of the given options is the solution to the linear equation, y = -2x + 5:

We can substitute the values of the given options to see whether they provide a true statement.

A) (2, -9):

y = -2x + 5

-9 = -2(2) + 5

-9 = -4 + 5

-9 = 1 (False statement. Therefore, this option is not included as a solution).

B) Only (-2, 9):

9 = -2(-2) + 5

9 = 4 + 5

9 = 9 (True statement. Thus, (-2, 9) is a solution to the given linear equation).

We no longer have to test options C and D because we already tested (2, -9) and determined that it's not a solution.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B) Only (-2, 9).
