Question

Determine which of the following ordered pairs is a solution to the equation 3x−8=−4y
.(1 point)

(0,−2)


(0,2)


(−1,1)


(1,1)

Answer 1

Check each pair (x,y) in 3x − 8 = −4y.

- (0, −2): 3(0) − 8 = −8, −4(−2) = 8 → −8 ≠ 8
- (0, 2): 3(0) − 8 = −8, −4(2) = −8 → −8 = −8 ✓
- (−1, 1): 3(−1) − 8 = −11, −4(1) = −4 → no
- (1, 1): 3(1) − 8 = −5, −4(1) = −4 → no

So (0, 2) is the solution.
