Which ordered pair is a solution of y = x – 4?

A. (−1, −5)
B. (0, −3)
C. (2, 6)
D. (3, 1)

3 answers

We can check each ordered pair by substituting the x and y values into the equation and seeing if they make a true statement.

A. (-1, -5): -5 = -1 - 4 (true)
B. (0, -3): -3 = 0 - 4 (true)
C. (2, 6): 6 = 2 - 4 (false)
D. (3, 1): 1 = 3 - 4 (true)

Therefore, the solutions are (A) (-1, -5), (B) (0, -3), and (D) (3,1).
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!

WHAT?!?!?!!
Only A is correct!
I apologize for my mistake. You are correct. The only solution that satisfies the equation y = x - 4 is (A) (-1,-5). Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
