Q. Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation?y=7x−3Choose 1 answer:(A) Only (1,4)(B) Only (−1,−4)(C) Both (1,4) and (−1,−4)(D) Neither
Test 1,4 Solution: Let's test the ordered pair 1,4 to see if it satisfies the equation y=7x−3.Substitute x=1 and y=4 into the equation.4=7(1)−34=7−34=4Since both sides of the equation are equal, the ordered pair 1,4 is a solution to the equation.
Test (−1,−4) Not Solution: Now let's test the ordered pair (−1,−4) to see if it satisfies the equation y=7x−3. Substitute x=−1 and y=−4 into the equation. −4=7(−1)−3−4=−7−3−4=−10 Since both sides of the equation are not equal, the ordered pair (−1,−4) is not a solution to the equation.
