determine which ordered pair is not a solution of y = -5x -4

(10, -52)
(7,-39)
(-7, 31)
(8,-44)

Try each of them

for example
-52 = -5(10) - 4
-52 = -54 I do not think so

check the others as well.

what will it be??

To determine which ordered pair is not a solution of the equation y = -5x - 4, you need to substitute the x and y values of each ordered pair into the equation and see if the equation holds true.

Let's go through each ordered pair one by one:

1. For the first ordered pair (10, -52), substitute x = 10 and y = -52 into the equation:

y = -5x - 4
-52 = -5(10) - 4
-52 = -50 - 4
-52 = -54

Since -52 is not equal to -54, the first ordered pair (10, -52) is not a solution of the equation.

2. For the second ordered pair (7, -39), substitute x = 7 and y = -39 into the equation:

y = -5x - 4
-39 = -5(7) - 4
-39 = -35 - 4
-39 = -39

Since -39 is equal to -39, the second ordered pair (7, -39) is a solution of the equation.

3. For the third ordered pair (-7, 31), substitute x = -7 and y = 31 into the equation:

y = -5x - 4
31 = -5(-7) - 4
31 = 35 - 4
31 = 31

Since 31 is equal to 31, the third ordered pair (-7, 31) is a solution of the equation.

4. For the fourth ordered pair (8, -44), substitute x = 8 and y = -44 into the equation:

y = -5x - 4
-44 = -5(8) - 4
-44 = -40 - 4
-44 = -44

Since -44 is equal to -44, the fourth ordered pair (8, -44) is a solution of the equation.

Therefore, the ordered pair that is not a solution of y = -5x - 4 is (10, -52).

Well I showed you that the first choice is NOT a solution to the equation. However It might not be the only one. Check them all.

Please follow Damon's advice and "check the others."
