Which of the following is a solution to the equation y = 3x - 1 ?
a. (4,1)
b. (2,5)
c. (4,3)
d. (0, -3)

One way of determining the answer is by substituting the values to the equation. It is done as follows:

A. (4,1)
y = 3x - 1
1 = 3(4) - 1 = 11 > not equal

B. (2,5)
y = 3x - 1
5 = 3(2) - 1 = 5 > equal

C. (4,3)
y = 3x - 1
3 = 3(4) -1 > not equal

D. (0, -3)
y = 3x - 1
-3 = 3(0) -1 = -1 > not equal
