Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the equations.

Question

X=9; (9,6)

 

Y= -7; (-7,0)

Answer 1

It must be understood that this is two separate problems, not a system of two equations.

X=9; (9,6)  ...this ordered pair satisfies this equation, which merely states that X shall equal nine.

Y= -7; (-7,0)...this ordered pair does not satisfy this equation, because the Y coordinate is zero and does not equal Y=-7.
