Which is a solution to the equation y = 2x - 5?

A.

(3, 11)

B.

(2, 1)

C.

(1, - 3)

D.

(5, - 5)

The correct answer is C. (1, - 3).

In the brackets, the first number refers to x, and the second to y (like when you write coordinates).

So we can check what is y ineach of the options and compare whether both of the sided of the equasion are equal:

A. 2x-5=-1, should be 11, false

B. 2x-5=4-9=-5, should be 1, false

C. 2x-5=2-5=-3, should be - 3, correct

D. 2x-5=10-5=5, should be - 5, false
