Question 959774: Please help me with this question: Determine if the point (-1,-4) is a solution to 5x + 3y =17 (YES of NO)

Answer by macston(5194)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In an ordered pair, the first number is the x value
and the second is y, so just put the values in:
5x+3y=17
5(-1)+3(-4)=17
-5-12=17
-17=17 FALSE: The point is not a solution
You can tell from the graph, the line does not cross (-1,-4).
