y=x-7
plug in: if left side of equation is equal to right side then ordered pairs are a solution to the given equation
1. (2,-5)......x=2 and y+=+-5
2. (1,6)......x=1 and y+=+6
1. y=x-7
-5=2-7
-5=-5.........this IS a solution to the given equation
2. 6=1-7
6=-6..........this IS NOT a solution to the given equation
