Question

1. what does it mean for an ordered pair to be a solution to a linear equation? select all that apply. (2 answers)

a. if the ordered pair is on the line for that equation.
b. if the ordered pair is not on the line for that equation.
c. if the ordered pair makes the equation true.
d. if the ordered pair does not make the equation true.

Explanation:

A solution to a linear equation in two variables is an ordered pair $(x,y)$ that satisfies the equation, meaning substituting the values into the equation makes it true. Geometrically, all such solution pairs lie on the graph of the linear equation, which is a straight line.

Answer:

a. If the ordered pair is on the line for that equation.
c. If the ordered pair makes the equation true.
