Choose the ordered pair (x,y) that is a solution of the equation.

-15x – 2y = 23

Answer 1

There are infinitely many solutions.

(-1,-4) works

Answer 2

-15x - 2y = 23
-2y = 15x + 23
y = -(15/2)x - 23/2

plug in any x and get a y. For example, lets plug in x = 0:

y = -(15/2)(0) - 23/2
y = -23/2

So (0, 23/2) is a point that works.

Answer 3

I mean (0, -23/2)

Answer 4

A. (-3,11)
B. (2,-9)
C. (3,-11)
D. (-2,9)

Answer 5

lets plug in -3:
y = -(15/2)(-3) - 23/2
y = 45/2 - 23/2
y = 22/2 = 11

Answer 6

option A

Answer 7

or just plug the ordered pairs into your original equation and see which one works out.
