Answer 1

Anyone?

Answer 2

plug in the choices that are given to you into the equation to know what coordinates give you negative one..

Answer 3

plug each of the x and y values from your choices for answers and see which coordinate pair makes the equation = -1. Like this, using your first choice in your answers of (-2,5)\[5(-2)+2(5)=0\]So you know it's not A because it has to equal -1 with the coordinate pair plugged in and that one came to 0. So try the next one.

Answer 4

Ok

Answer 5

Found it it's (1,-3)

Answer 6

thats correct..
