Question

Which ordered pair would NOT appear as a solution for the linear equation y = -4x - 2?

A) (1, -6)
B) (-1, 5)
C) (-4, 14)
D) (2, -10)

Caroline chose A as her answer. Why is she incorrect?
A) (1, -6) is a solution because it creates a true statement when substituted into the equation

B) (1, -6) is a solution because y = -6

C) (1, -6) is a solution because it creates a false statement when substituted into the equation

D) (1, -6) is a solution because it is near the y-intercept of -2.

Answer 1

option a is correct, value satisfy the equation

Answer 2

the pair which would NOT appear as a solution is B)(-1,5), Caroline chose A as her answer,she is wrong because (1, -6) is a solution because it creates a true statement when substituted into the equation

Explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this.

to know is a coordinate is a solution, just replace the values into the equation and it must be true

Step 1

Let

y=-4x-2

put the values from A

A)(1,-6)

-6=-4(1)-2

-6=-6 ,so A is true

put the values from B

B)(-1,5)

5=-4(-1)-2

5=6-2

5=4,so B is false

put the values from C

B)(-4,14)

14=-4(-4)-2

14=16-2

14=14,so C is true

put the values from D

B)(2,-10)

-10=-4(2)-2

-10=-8-2

-10=-10,so C is true

so, the pair which would NOT appear as a solution is B)(-1,5)

Step 2

Caroline chose A as her answer. Why is she incorrect?

A) true

B)false

C)false

D)false

so the answer is A)

Have a good day.
