Q. Does the point (−1,−5) satisfy the equation y=2x2+6x−1?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute x-value: Substitute the x-value from the point into the equation to find y.y=2(−1)2+6(−1)−1y=2(1)−6−1y=2−6−1y=−5
Compare y-values: Compare the calculated y-value with the y-value from the point.Calculated y=−5, Point's y=−5Since both values are the same, the point satisfies the equation.
