You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Which of the ordered pairs
(0, 0), (-2, 10), (-1, -5), (-3, 9)
are solutions for the equation
y+=+5+x+
plug in (x, y)=(0, 0)

0+=+5+%2A0+

highlight%280=+0%29+....left side is equal to right side, so the ordered pair (0, 0) highlight%28is%29 a solution for the equation

plug in (x, y)=(-2, 10)

10+=+5+%2A%28-2%29+

10=+-10+....left side is not equal to right side, so the ordered pair (-2, 10) is not a solution for the equation

plug in (x, y)=(-1, -5)

-5+=+5+%2A%28-1%29+

highlight%28-5=+-5%29+....left side is equal to right side, so the ordered pair (-1, -5) highlight%28is%29 a solution for the equation


plug in (x, y)=(-3, 9)

9+=+5+%2A%28-3%29+

9=+-15+....left side is not equal to right side, so the ordered pair (-3, 9) is not a solution for the equation

let's see it on a graph:
