Question

Is (2,4) a solution to the equation y = x – 2?

yes
no

Answer 1

it is not, because if you plug 2 in for x (as shown in your coordinates) y=0

Answer 2

When i see these problems, I really want to add an extra answer, and say "maybe so".
There are two things you have to know for this problem, what a coordinate pair is, and how to solve an equation.
First, coordinate pairs are shown as (x,y), so in this case, 2 is you x, 4 is your y. So now plug them in to your equation.

4=2-2
4=0

Maybe somewhere in the universe, 4 equals 0, but I dont think your math teacher would like that answer. Since 4 does not equal 0, this point does not work.

Answer 3

Thanks julian . Omg im so bad at math ._.
