Question

Is (-5,17) a solution of y=3x+2?

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

When solving this equation you would substitute the x coordinate for x and the y coordinate for y:

`17=(3*-5)+2`

Then multiply -5 and 3:

`17=-15+2`

Then, add it out and you will come to the conclusion that it equals negative 13 not 17. The correct answer would be (5,17).
