To check if an ordered pair is a solution of the equation, we substitute the values of x and y into the equation and see if both sides of the equation are equal.
For the equation y = 8x + 3:
Checking the ordered pair (1, 11):
y = 8x + 3
11 = 8(1) + 3
11 = 8 + 3
11 = 11
Both sides of the equation are equal, so (1, 11) is a solution.
Checking the ordered pair (-1, -5):
y = 8x + 3
-5 = 8(-1) + 3
-5 = -8 + 3
-5 = -5
Both sides of the equation are equal, so (-1, -5) is a solution.
Therefore, the answer is: both (-1, -5) and (1, 11) are solutions of the equation y = 8x + 3.
