You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Is (2, -3) a solution of $\"x%5E2%2B2y+=+-2\"$ ?
\n" ); document.write( "To answer this question, you simply substitute the x- and y-coordinates from the given point (2, -3) into the equation and see if the left side is equal to the right side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2B2y+=+-2\"$ Substitute x = 2 and y = -3
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%29%5E2%2B2%28-3%29+=+-2\"$ Evaluate.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4-6+=+-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2+=+-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is yes and the the reason is that the x- and y-coordinate values of the given point satisfy (constitute a solution of) the equation. \n" ); document.write( "
