Question 618396: How can you tell if an ordered pair is the solution to a linear equation with two variables. Show the process of "checking" to see if an ordered pair is a solution to a linear equation with two variables. Write another linear equation with the variables x and y and provide an ordered pair for your classmates to "check".

Take the -coordinate of the ordered pair and substitute it in place of in the equation. Take the -coordinate of the ordered pair and substitute it in place of in the equation. Do the indicated arithmetic. If the result is a true statement, then, the ordered pair is an element of the solution set of the equation. Otherwise, not.
