Which point is a solution to the equation Y = 4x - 5
A. (-3,-17) B. (4,7) C. -2,-18) D. (3,17)

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which point is a solution, substitute the x- coordinate into the equation and if the value obtained agrees with the y- coordinate of the point then it is a solution.

A (- 3, - 17)

y = 4(- 3) - 5 = - 12 - 5 = - 17 ← (- 3, - 17) is a solution

B (4, 7)

y = 4(4) - 5 = 16 - 5 = 11 ≠ 7 ← not a solution

C (- 2, - 18)

y = 4(- 2) - 5 = - 8 - 5 = - 13 ≠ - 18 ← not a solution

D (3, 17)

y = 4(3) - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7 ≠ 17 ← not a solution

the correct answer is the second option

none cuz there are no "following statements" regarding the question
