Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = -11

ordered pair:  (-5, -1)

x = -5 y = -1

plug into the equation.

2(-5) - 5(-1) = -11

a negative x a positive = a negative

2 x -5 = -10

a negative x a negative = a positive

-5 x -1 = 5

-10 + 5 = -11

5 ≠ 11

therefore its NOT solution.
