To check if (1, -7) is a solution to the equation y = x - 8, we need to substitute the values of x and y into the equation and see if it is true.
y = x - 8
Substituting the values of x = 1 and y = -7:
-7 = 1 - 8
-7 = -7
Since the equation is true, (1, -7) is indeed a solution to the equation y = x - 8.
