Question

Does the point (4 , 9) satisfy the equation y = x - 5?

Answer 1

Answer:

(4, 9) does not satisfy the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the linear equation, y = x - 5, and the point, (4, 9):

We can determine whether (4, 9) is a solution to y = x - 5 by substituting their values into the equation.

x = 4, and y = 9:

y = x - 5

9 = 4 - 5

9 = -1   (False statement)

As demonstrated in our calculations, it turns out that (4, 9) does not satisfy the equation. Therefore, (4, 9) is not a solution to y = x - 5.
