To determine if (2, 12) is a solution to the equation y = -6x, we substitute the values of x and y from the ordered pair into the equation and see if both sides are equal.
For (2, 12):
-6(2) = -12
Since -12 is not equal to 12, the equation is not satisfied. Therefore, (2, 12) is not a solution to the equation y = -6x.
The correct answer is b) no.
