Q. Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation?y=8x+3Choose 1 answer:(A) Only (1,11)(B) Only (−1,−5)(C) Both (1,11) and (−1,−5)(D) Neither
Test 1,11: Let's test the ordered pair 1,11 by substituting x with 1 in the equation y=8x+3.y=8(1)+3y=8+3y=11Since when x=1, y indeed equals 11, the ordered pair 1,11 is a solution to the equation.
Test (−1,−5): Now let's test the ordered pair (−1,−5) by substituting x with −1 in the equation y=8x+3.y=8(−1)+3y=−8+3y=−5Since when x=−1, y indeed equals −5, the ordered pair (−1,−5) is also a solution to the equation.
