Please help me with this question. Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The answer is:
D)(0, –4)
.
Simply "plug in" each of the given (x,y) pairs into:
4x – 3y = 12
to test
.
so, if we have:
(x,y) as (0,-4)
we would then have:
4x – 3y = 12
4(0) – 3(-4) = 12
0 – (-12) = 12
12 = 12
