Question

Are the point (-1, 1) and (3, 1/5) solutions to the equation 3x-5y=8

Answer 1

The (3, 1/5) would be a solution while the (-1,1) wouldn’t because when you write this equation in the slope intercept form which is y = 3/5x - 8/5

1/5 = 3/5 (3) - 8/5

would end up with 1/5 = 1/5 which is write

While,

1 = 3/5 (-1) - 8/5

Would end up with
1 = 11/5 which is wrong
