Question

Determine which ordered pair is not a solution of y = –5x – 4. (1 point)

(10, –52)
(7, –39)
(–7, 31)

Answer 1

plug in each option to the equation, if its incorrect at the end its not a solution. Lets start with the first one (10, -52)

Answer 2

You plug in the x for x and the y for y remember (x,y)
So you get -52=-5(10)-4 Can you solve this?

Answer 3

So its not 10, -52

Answer 4

good because at the end you get -52=-54. So (A) would be not a solution

Answer 5
