For the equation given below, Determine if the following points are solutions : y=6x-1

Question

Is (-10,-61) a solution of the equation

Is (9,53) a solution of the equation

Answer 1

y = 6x - 1

plug in the point to get

-61 = 6(-10) = -60

-61 = -60

the point (-10, -61) is not a solution

it's close though, as (-10, -60) is a solution

(9,53) is a solution

y=6x-1

53 = 6(9) - 1 = 54-1 = 53
