Tell whether the equation y = 2x; (-6, -12) has the ordered pair as a solution. Is (-6, -12) a solution of the given equation? Choose the correct answer a) yes b) no
Yes, (-6, -12) is a solution of the given equation y = 2x. Therefore, the correct answer is a) yes.
To determine if the ordered pair (-6, -12) is a solution of the equation y = 2x, we need to substitute the values of x and y into the equation and check if they are equal.
Substituting x = -6 and y = -12 into the equation y = 2x, we get:
-12 = 2(-6)
Simplifying the right side, we have:
-12 = -12
Since the left side is equal to the right side, we can conclude that (-6, -12) is a solution of the equation y = 2x.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
a) yes
