does the point (5 6) satisfy the equation y = 2x - 7

Sagot :

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: To determine this, all we have to is plug our ordered pair into the equation for x and y.

Remeber that the first number is our x-coordinate and our second

number is our y-coordinate so we plug a 5 in for x and a 6 in for y.

So we have (6) = 2(5) + 7 or 6 = 10 + 7 or 6 = 17.

Since this is not a true statement, this point doesn’t satisfy the equation.
