Determine which of the following ordered pairs is a solution to the

equation 3x - 8 = -4y. (1 point)
O (0, -2)
O (1, 1)
O (-1, 1)
O (0,2)

1 answer

To determine which of the ordered pairs is a solution to the equation \( 3x - 8 = -4y \), we can substitute each pair into the equation and check if both sides are equal.

Let's check each ordered pair:

  1. For \( (0, -2) \): \[ 3(0) - 8 = -4(-2) \ 0 - 8 = 8 \ -8 \neq 8 \quad \text{(not a solution)} \]

  2. For \( (1, 1) \): \[ 3(1) - 8 = -4(1) \ 3 - 8 = -4 \ -5 \neq -4 \quad \text{(not a solution)} \]

  3. For \( (-1, 1) \): \[ 3(-1) - 8 = -4(1) \ -3 - 8 = -4 \ -11 \neq -4 \quad \text{(not a solution)} \]

  4. For \( (0, 2) \): \[ 3(0) - 8 = -4(2) \ 0 - 8 = -8 \ -8 = -8 \quad \text{(is a solution)} \]

Thus, the ordered pair \( (0, 2) \) is a solution to the equation \( 3x - 8 = -4y \).
