@karategirl2002 :  First, a question for you:  What does "solution" mean in this context?  If you don't know, please do an Internet search for "solution to an equation" and see what that uncovers.  Once y ou understand this concept, finding the right answer to your posted question should be relatively simple.  Good luck!

@karategirl2002 ?    Looking up vocabulary that is unfamiliar to you is one of the best ways in which you can learn math.

A "solution" in this context is a point (x, y) whose coordinates, when substituted into the given equation, make the equation true.  If those coordinates result in a false equation, then they do not represent a solution.

Does this help you to get started?  If not, ask questions and I'll be happy to answer them.
