Question

Is the point (8,3) a solution of the equation y = 17x + 7?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

The coordinates in an ordered pair are listed (x,y). So, in (8,3) The 8 is the x coordinate and the 3 is the y coordinate. Plug those numbers into the equation and see if it makes a true statement. If it does, then that point is on the line and it is a solution

y = 17x + 7

3 = 17(8) + 7

3 = 136 + 7

3
`\\eq` 143, so this point is not a solution
