Question

5.5 graphing lines with slope and y - intercept
check to see if the given ordered pair is a solution to the equation. type yes or no for your answer
3x - y = 26; (6,-8)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x and y values

Substitute $x = 6$ and $y=-8$ into $3x - y$.
$3\times6-(-8)$

Step2: Calculate the expression

$3\times6-(-8)=18 + 8=26$

Step3: Compare with the right - hand side

Since the result of substitution is 26, which is equal to the right - hand side of the equation $3x - y = 26$.

Answer:

yes
