Question

Does the point (-2, -5) satisfy the equation y = x − -3?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

To determine if (- 2, - 5) is a solution to the equation.

Substitute x = - 2 into the right side of the equation and if the value obtained is equal to the y- coordinate of the point then it is a solution.

y = - 2 - 3 = - 5 ← hence (- 2, - 5) is a solution to the equation

Answer 2

No because (-2, -5) is negative and the y coordinate needs to be positive.
