To determine if a given pair of numbers is a solution, we need to know the specific equation or system of equations that these pairs are supposed to satisfy. Please provide the equation or equations in order for us to determine if these pairs are solutions.
To determine if a given set of points (x, y) is a solution, we need to know the specific question or equation we are referring to. Please provide the equation or context so that I can help you determine if these points are a solution.
To determine if the given set of points (8, -1), (-6, 5), (5, 3), and (-8, -2) is a solution to an equation, we need to know the equation itself. Let's assume that the equation is in the form of "y = mx + c," where m represents the slope and c represents the y-intercept.
To check if a point (x, y) is a solution to the equation, we substitute the values of x and y into the equation and see if it holds true.
Let's consider an example equation: y = 2x + 3.
1. For the point (8, -1):
Substituting the values into the equation, we have:
-1 = 2(8) + 3
-1 = 16 + 3
-1 = 19
Since -1 is not equal to 19, the point (8, -1) is not a solution to the equation y = 2x + 3.
2. For the point (-6, 5):
Substituting the values into the equation, we have:
5 = 2(-6) + 3
5 = -12 + 3
5 = -9
Since 5 is not equal to -9, the point (-6, 5) is not a solution to the equation y = 2x + 3.
3. For the point (5, 3):
Substituting the values into the equation, we have:
3 = 2(5) + 3
3 = 10 + 3
3 = 13
Since 3 is not equal to 13, the point (5, 3) is not a solution to the equation y = 2x + 3.
4. For the point (-8, -2):
Substituting the values into the equation, we have:
-2 = 2(-8) + 3
-2 = -16 + 3
-2 = -13
Since -2 is not equal to -13, the point (-8, -2) is not a solution to the equation y = 2x + 3.
Therefore, none of the given points (8, -1), (-6, 5), (5, 3), and (-8, -2) are solutions to the equation y = 2x + 3.
