The given equations are:

4x + 5y = - 1

2x - 3y = 7

For the ordered pairs to be a solution of the equation, the equation must be true when the points are substituted into the equation. That is, the right hand side must equal the left hand side.

For 4x + 5y = -1

To test if (1, -1) is a solution, substitute x = 1, and y = -1 into the equation.

4(1) + 5(-1) = -1

4 - 5 = -1 (True)

Therefore, (1, -1) is a solution for the equation 4x + 5y = -1

For 2x - 3y = 7

To test if (8, -3) is a solution, substitute x = 8, and y = -3 into the equation

2(8) - 3(-3) = 7

16 + 9 = 7 ( False)

Therefore, (8, -3) is not a solution for 2x - 3y = 7
