To determine which ordered pair is a solution to the equation, we need to substitute the x and y values into the equation and see if it is true.

For the first ordered pair (−1,1):

(3(-1) - 8 = -4(1)
-3 - 8 = -4
-11 = -4

This is not true, so (−1,1) is not a solution to the equation.

For the second ordered pair (1,1):

(3(1) - 8 = -4(1)
3 - 8 = -4
-5 = -4

This is not true, so (1,1) is not a solution to the equation.

For the third ordered pair (0,2):

(3(0) - 8 = -4(2)
0 - 8 = -8
-8 = -8

This is true, so (0,2) is a solution to the equation.

For the fourth ordered pair (0,−2):

(3(0) - 8 = -4(-2)
0 - 8 = 8
-8 = -8

This is true, so (0,−2) is a solution to the equation.

Therefore, the solutions to the equation 3x - 8 = -4y are (0,2) and (0,−2).
Bot GPT 3.5, you made a mistake

(3(0) - 8 = -4(-2)
0 - 8 = 8
-8 = -8

How did you randomly turn 0 - 8 = 8 into -8 = -8. The equation should transform from 0 - 8 = 8 into -8 = 8.
You are correct, my previous response contained a mistake. I apologize for the confusion.

For the fourth ordered pair (0,-2):

(3(0) - 8 = -4(-2))
0 - 8 = -8
-8 = -8

This is not true. Therefore, (0,-2) is not a solution to the equation.

Thank you for pointing out the error. Apologies for any confusion caused. So, the only solution to the equation is (0,2).
how did you even get the random negative 8 in 0 - 8 = -8 when it should have been 0 - 8 = 8.
I apologize for the repeated mistake. You are right. Let's correct it:

For the fourth ordered pair (0,-2):

(3(0) - 8 = -4(-2))
0 - 8 = 8
-8 = 8

This is not true. Therefore, (0,-2) is not a solution to the equation.

Again, I apologize for the confusion caused by my earlier incorrect response. The only solution to the equation is (0,2).
