#1) The ordered pair (6,1) is a solution to which linear equation?
A. y= 1/2x -11/2
B. y= 3/2x -9
C. y= 2/3x -3
D. y= x+5

If the ordered pair is solution to any equation then the values must satisfy the equation
The ordered pair (6,1) is a solution to which linear equation?
from Above x=6 & y=1
A. y= 1/2x -11/2
B. y= 3/2x -9
C. y= 2/3x -3
D. y= x+5
y= 2/3x -3
1= (2/3) * 6 -3
1=4-3
1=1
the left hand side and right hand side are equal
(6,1) is the solution of y= 2/3x -3
