Answer: (-1, 2) is indeed a solution of the equation.
Explanation:
To determine whether the ordered pair (-1, 2) is a solution of the equation f(x) = 3x + 5, we need to substitute the values of x and y into the equation and check if the equation holds true.
Let's substitute x = -1 and y = 2 into the equation:
f(-1) = 3(-1) + 5
= -3 + 5
= 2
The result of f(-1) is 2, which is equal to the given y-value of 2 in the ordered pair. Therefore, since the equation f(x) = 3x + 5 holds true for the ordered pair (-1, 2), we can conclude that (-1, 2) is indeed a solution of the equation.
