A.


(–4, –7)


B.
(3, 14)


C.


(2, –1)


D.
(1, 8)

Answer 1

An ordered pair (x, y) will be a solution to the line if when you substitute the values for x and y into the equation, the left hand side will equal 5 in this case.

Answer 2

Thought I told you this already o_O.

So, try the first point, (-4,-7)

-3(-3)+(-7) = 5...5=5 so yes this is your point. I guess you just needed an example.

Answer 3

For example, A (-4, -7) is a solution since -3(-4) + (-7) = 12 - 7 = 5
