Answer 1

To determine which ordered pair lies on the graph of the equation \(2X - 5Y = 12\), we will substitute the \(X\) and \(Y\) values of each pair into the equation and see if the equation is satisfied (i.e., if the left side equals the right side).

**A: \((3, -\frac{6}{5})\)**

Substituting \(X = 3\) and \(Y = -\frac{6}{5}\):
\[
2(3) - 5\left(-\frac{6}{5}\right) = 6 + 6 = 12
\]
This pair satisfies the equation.

**B: \((1, 2)\)**

Substituting \(X = 1\) and \(Y = 2\):
\[
2(1) - 5(2) = 2 - 10 = -8 \quad \text{(not equal to 12)}
\]

**C: \((0, \frac{12}{5})\)**

Substituting \(X = 0\) and \(Y = \frac{12}{5}\):
\[
2(0) - 5\left(\frac{12}{5}\right) = 0 - 12 = -12 \quad \text{(not equal to 12)}
\]

**D: \((-1, -2)\)**

Substituting \(X = -1\) and \(Y = -2\):
\[
2(-1) - 5(-2) = -2 + 10 = 8 \quad \text{(not equal to 12)}
\]

The ordered pair that lies on the graph of the equation \(2X - 5Y = 12\) is:

**A: \((3, -\frac{6}{5})\)**
