Answer 1

To determine which ordered pair is part of the solution set for the equation \( y = 3x - 4 \), we can substitute each \( x \) value from the ordered pairs into the equation and see if the resulting \( y \) value matches the corresponding \( y \) value in the ordered pair.

1. **Option #1: (−1, 0)**
- Substitute \( x = -1 \):
\[
y = 3(-1) - 4 = -3 - 4 = -7
\]
- The ordered pair (−1, 0) does not satisfy the equation since \( y \neq 0 \).

2. **Option #2: (0, −4)**
- Substitute \( x = 0 \):
\[
y = 3(0) - 4 = 0 - 4 = -4
\]
- The ordered pair (0, −4) satisfies the equation since \( y = -4 \).

3. **Option #3: (3, 4)**
- Substitute \( x = 3 \):
\[
y = 3(3) - 4 = 9 - 4 = 5
\]
- The ordered pair (3, 4) does not satisfy the equation since \( y \neq 4 \).

Based on these calculations, **Option #2: (0, −4)** is part of the solution set for the equation \( y = 3x - 4 \).
