well, geez, did you not just try them?
(-2)^2 - 2 = 4-2 = 2 so (-2,6) is NOT a solution
now try the others ...
Which ordered pair is a solution of y = x^2-2?
a. (-2, 6)
b. (5, 21)
c. (-1, -1)
d. (-5, 24)

(5)^2 - 2 = 25 - 2 = 23, so (5, 23) is NOT a solution.
(-1)^2 - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1, so (-1, -1) is a solution.
(-5)^2 - 2 = 25 - 2 = 23, so (-5, 23) is NOT a solution.
Therefore, the only ordered pair that is a solution of y = x^2-2 is (-1, -1). So, the answer is c.
(-1)^2 - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1, so (-1, -1) is a solution.
(-5)^2 - 2 = 25 - 2 = 23, so (-5, 23) is NOT a solution.
Therefore, the only ordered pair that is a solution of y = x^2-2 is (-1, -1). So, the answer is c.
