Answer 3

plug in (x, y) = (-5, 2)

in every equation. find the one for which it doesn't hold true.

first one:

-3y = x - 1

plug in (-5, 2) which ix x = -5 and y =2

-3(2) = (-5) - 1

this equation holds true [ -6 = -6 ]. therefore the point (-5, 2) IS on that line

Answer 4

So i'm confused what one

Answer 5

you just want the answer?

Answer 6

Can you help me get the answer?

Answer 7

B:
6y - 2 = -2x

plug in (-5, 2)

6(2) - 2 = -2(-5)

both sides equal 10 so this is true. this is not the answer (read question)

C:

5 + y = 2x - 4
5 + (2) = 2(-5) - 4
7 = -14

This isn't true. so the point (-5, 2) is NOT on the line 5+ y = 2x - 4 [y = 2x - 9]


answer is C..
