Each of the ordered pairs given in the answer choices represent (x, y). Plug each pair of numbers into the equation to see if it is the solution.
y= -6x + 1
A) (-2,13)
13= -6(-2) + 1
13= 12 + 1
13= 13
Yes, this is a solution
B) (-1,7)
7= -1(-2) + 1
7= 3 + 1
7= 4
No, this is not a solution
C) No, it cannot be both since B is not a solution
D) No, it cannot be neither since A is a solution
ANSWER: A) (-2,13) is the solution
Hope this helps! :)
