Q. y=−5x+1y=3x−2Is (3,8) a solution of the system?Choose 1 answer:(A) Yes(B) No
Substituting point into first equation: First, we will substitute the point (3,8) into the first equation and check if it holds true. The first equation is y=−5x+1. If we substitute x=3 and y=8, we get 8=−5⋅3+1.
Checking if the equation holds true: After performing the calculation, we find that 8=−15+1, which simplifies to 8=−14. This is not true. Therefore, the point (3,8) does not satisfy the first equation.
Conclusion: Point does not satisfy first equation: Since the point (3,8) does not satisfy the first equation, there is no need to check the second equation. The point (3,8) cannot be a solution to the system if it does not satisfy both equations.
