Question

(4, - 1); 3x - 5y = 2How do I get the real answer of this?

Answer 1

Step 1: Identify the question

We have the following equation given:

$3x-5y=2$

And for this case we have the following values for x and y given:

x=4, y=-1

We want to check if the point given (4,-1) is a solution for the equation 3x-5y=2

Step 2: Solve the problem

We just need to replace in the equation given x=4 and y=-1:

$3\cdot4-(5\cdot-1)=12+5=17$

Step 3: Solution to the problem

And we can conclude that the point (4,-1) is not on the line 3x-5y=2

Step 4: Solution

For this case we can see that the point is not a solution of the equation because the solution is not equal to 2
