Question

The graph represents y = −14
x − 3. Which coordinate pair is NOT a solution for the equation?
Responses
A (−8, −1)(−8, −1)
B (−2, −4)(−2, −4)
C (4, −4)(4, −4)
D (0, −3)

Answer 1

To determine which coordinate pair is NOT a solution for the equation y = -14(x - 3), we substitute each coordinate pair into the equation and check if the equation is satisfied.

A: (-8, -1)
y = -14(-8-3) = -14(-11) = 154
The equation is satisfied for coordinate pair A.

B: (-2, -4)
y = -14(-2-3) = -14(-5) = 70
The equation is satisfied for coordinate pair B.

C: (4, -4)
y = -14(4-3) = -14(1) = -14
The equation is satisfied for coordinate pair C.

D: (0, -3)
y = -14(0-3) = -14(-3) = 42
The equation is NOT satisfied for coordinate pair D.

Therefore, the coordinate pair that is NOT a solution for the equation is (0, -3). The correct response is D.
