Which three ordered pairs complete the table to give solutions of the equation y = x – 5?



A.
(–3, –2), (0, –5), and (3, 2)

B.
(–3, –2), (0, –5), and (3, –2)

C.
(–3, –8), (0, –5), and (3, 2)

D.
(–3, –8), (0, –5), and (3, –2)



Answer :

D. because  if you plug the X and Y coordinates into the equation. the equation will always be true
A
-2 = -3 - 5, -2 = -8 is wrong which means A is not the answer

B
-2 = -3 -5, -2 = -8 is wrong which means B is not the answer

C
-8 = -3 - 5, -8 = -8
-5 = 0 - 5, -5 = -5
2 = 3 - 5, 2 = -2 is wrong so C is not the answer

D
-8 = -3 -5, -8 = -8
-5 = 0 - 5, -5 = -5
-2 = 3 - 5, -2 = -2 
All are correct so D is the answer
