Question

Does the point (–1, 1) satisfy the equation y = 4x + 5?

Answer 1

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute -1 for x and 1 for y in the equation y = 4x + 5

(1) = 4(-1) + 5

1 = -4 + 5

1 = 1

Left side = right side

Therefore,  the point (–1, 1) satisfies the equation y = 4x + 5
