Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the give
Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given equation (-3, 2) y = x +5
Solution
y = x + 5
Pair is (-3 , 2) in which x = -3 and y = 2
Plug this into the equation :
2 = -3 + 5
2 = 2
Left hand side = Right hand side
So, since the equation checks out when we plug in the coordinate, we say that :
The ordered pair IS A SOLUTION
