Question

Does the point (1, –3) satisfy the equation y = x + –4?

Answer 1

The linear equation given,

`\begin{gathered} y=x+-4 \\ y=x-4 \end{gathered}`

To check whether (1, -3) satisfies the equation or not, we can plug in "1" into "x" and "-3" into "y" and check if the equation holds true or not. Let's check:

`\begin{gathered} y=x-4 \\ -3\stackrel{?}{=}1-4 \\ -3=-3 \end{gathered}`

So, the point (1, -3) satisfies the equation y = x - 4.

AnswerYes, the point satisfies the equation shown
