You can put this solution on YOUR website! explain how to tell whether the ordered pair (2,-1) is a solution of the equation y=-2x+3
----
Substitute 2 for "x"
Substitute -1 for "y"
See if you get a true statement.
-=-------
-1 = -2(2)+3
-1 = -4+3
-1 = -1
True
----
Therefore (2,-1) os a solution for y = -2x+3
