Question

the ordered pairs (2, -11) and (5, -20) are solutions to which of the following equations.

A. y=3x-5
B. y=-3x+5
C. y=3x+5
D. y=-3x-5

Answer 1

D. Y is negative and x is positive, so that means either B or D. Since y is negative, SUBTRACTING five would make a more negative number. So you want D.
