Which ordered pair is a solution to the equation 4x + 7y = –5? A. (–4, –3) B. (4, –3) C. (4, 3) D. (–4, 3)

Mehek (mehek14):

have you tried plugging in the ordered pairs?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Plug in your points into your function to see which points satisfy the equation = 5.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Remember, ordered pairs : \((x~,~y)\)

i tried using this https://www.desmos.com/calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it didt work

Mehek (mehek14):

it easier to just plug in the ordered pairs into your equation

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Ex: \((x~,~y) \implies (1~,~5)\) That means \(x=1~,~y=5\)

Mehek (mehek14):

like for A 4(-4) + 7(-3) = -5 see if it is true and do the same for the rest

Mehek (mehek14):

so check and tell me if A is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay hold on let me work it out

Mehek (mehek14):

and you know using desmos is easy just type in the equation and see which ordered pair is on the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.25 came out so that didnt work

Mehek (mehek14):

alright moving on to b

Mehek (mehek14):

yea so go to B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is -5

Mehek (mehek14):

so is -5 = -5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

Mehek (mehek14):

there you go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks ^^
