Question

Does (0, –76) make the equation y = x + 76 true?

true or false

Answer 1

To determine if the point (0, –76) makes the equation \( y = x + 76 \) true, we need to substitute \( x = 0 \) into the equation and see if it results in \( y = -76 \).

Substituting \( x = 0 \):

\[
y = 0 + 76 = 76
\]

Now we have \( y = 76 \). However, the y-value of our point is \( -76 \).

Since \( 76 \neq -76 \), the point (0, –76) does not satisfy the equation.

Therefore, the answer is **false**.
