Answer 1

Given:

An equation x = y - 5

Required:

To find whether (-5, 5) is a solution to the equation or not.

Explanation:

Substitue x = -5 and y = 5 in the equation

-5 = 5 - 5

- 5 = 0

This is not true so (-5,5) is not a solution to the equation.

Final answer:

Option (B ) is the correct answer.5
