Determine whether each equation has the given ordered pair as a solution.
5x − 3y = 15; (0, 5)

Question

anonymous · Answer

Let x=0
5x − 3y = 15
5(0) − 3y = 15
0-3y=15
3y=15
-- ---
3   3
y=5 
(0,5)

??  you got an error there

anonymous · Answer

can you give me a medal?

amistre64 · Answer

for starters; when x = 0 there is nothing over there and your left with 
-3y = 15

-3(5) does not equal 15

amistre64 · Answer

but its good to know how to dbl chk to spot for those ..... the steps were good, just missed it by thaaaaaatt much lol

anonymous · Answer

so -3/15
y=-5?

anonymous · Answer

yeah

anonymous · Answer

okay thax for checking amistre

amistre64 · Answer

just plug in your point values and see if it matches really

(x=0, y=5);  5(0)-3(5)=15

0 -15 = 15

-15 = 15 is a contradiction; so the point aint part of the equation

anonymous · Answer

It's not a solution. The answer would come out as -15 instead of 15

anonymous · Answer

the solution is if there are 2 lines... the solution would be where the two lines meet
