Q. Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation?y−3=5(x−2)Choose 1 answer:(A) Only (2,3)(B) Only (3,2)(C) Both (2,3) and (3,2)(D) Neither
Check Solution 2,3: Step 1: Let's determine if the ordered pair 2,3 satisfies the equation y−3=5(x−2). Substituting x=2 and y=3 into the equation yields 3−3=5(2−2). Simplifying, we get 0=5(0), which simplifies to 0=0. This is true, so 2,3 is a solution of the equation.
Check Solution 3,2: Step 2: Now, let's check the second option 3,2. For this option, x=3 and y=2. Substitute x=3 and y=2 into the equation y−3=5(x−2). This gives us 2−3=5(3−2). Simplifying this, we get \-1=5(1), which simplifies to \-1=5. This is not true, so the ordered pair 3,2 is not a solution of the equation.
Final Answer: Step 3: Since the ordered pair (2,3) is a solution and (3,2) is not, the correct answer is Only (2,3).
