To determine which ordered pairs are solutions for the equation \( y = -5x + 3 \), we will substitute the x-values from each pair into the equation and check if the resulting y-value matches the value given in the ordered pair.

  1. For the ordered pair \( (2, -7) \):

    • Substitute \( x = 2 \): \[ y = -5(2) + 3 = -10 + 3 = -7 \]
    • This matches the y-value of -7, so \( (2, -7) \) is a solution.
  2. For the ordered pair \( (0, 3) \):

    • Substitute \( x = 0 \): \[ y = -5(0) + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3 \]
    • This matches the y-value of 3, so \( (0, 3) \) is a solution.
  3. For the ordered pair \( (2, -13) \):

    • Substitute \( x = 2 \): \[ y = -5(2) + 3 = -10 + 3 = -7 \]
    • This does not match the y-value of -13, so \( (2, -13) \) is not a solution.
  4. For the ordered pair \( (-7, 2) \):

    • Substitute \( x = -7 \): \[ y = -5(-7) + 3 = 35 + 3 = 38 \]
    • This does not match the y-value of 2, so \( (-7, 2) \) is not a solution.

Therefore, the two ordered pairs that are solutions to the equation \( y = -5x + 3 \) are:

  • \( (2, -7) \)
  • \( (0, 3) \)
