Plug in the ordered pairs First Lets try (2,-9) first ------------------------------------ (5*2) - (-9/3) = 13 10 - (-3) = 13 These two points (2,-9) work in the expression -------------------------------------------------------------------- Now we try (3,-6) Plug in the numbers (5*3) - (-6/3) = 13 15 - (-2) = 17 These Two points (3,-6) do not work ------------------------------------------------------------ Your answer is C. "The First is a solution, but the second is not"
