Decide whether the ordered pair (-3,-6) a solution of the equation.
y=2x
is (-3,-6) a solution to y=2x
no
yes
No, (-3,-6) is not a solution to y=2x.
To check, we substitute x=-3 and y=-6 into the equation y=2x:
-6 = 2(-3)
-6 = -6
Since both sides of the equation are equal, (-3,-6) is indeed a solution to y=2x.
To determine whether the ordered pair (-3,-6) is a solution to the equation y=2x, we need to substitute the values of x and y from the ordered pair into the equation and see if the equation holds true.
Let's substitute x=-3 and y=-6 into the equation y=2x:
-6 = 2(-3)
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
-6 = -6
Since both sides of the equation are equal, we can conclude that (-3,-6) is indeed a solution to the equation y=2x.
Therefore, the correct answer is "yes".
To determine if the ordered pair (-3,-6) is a solution to the equation y=2x, we substitute the values of x and y into the equation and check if it holds true.
Given:
x=-3
y=-6
Substituting these values into the equation, we have:
-6 = 2(-3)
Simplifying the equation:
-6 = -6
Since -6 is equal to -6, the equation is true. Therefore, the ordered pair (-3,-6) is a solution to the equation y=2x. Thus, the answer is "yes."
