Question

-4x + 3y = 2
3x - 9y = 3
is (4, 1) a solution of the system?
choose 1 answer:
a yes
b no

Explanation:

Step1: Check first equation

Substitute \(x = 4\), \(y = 1\) into \(-4x + 3y = 2\):
\(-4(4) + 3(1) = -16 + 3 = -13\).
\(-13
eq 2\), so \((4,1)\) fails the first equation.

Step2: Conclusion

Since it does not satisfy the first equation, it is not a solution.

Answer:

B. No
