$y = 17 x + 1$ , $(1, - 10)$

Step 1

Insert the values of $x = 1$ and $y = - 10$ into the equation to find if the ordered pair is a solution.

$- 10 = 17 (1) + 1$

Step 2

Simplify $17 (1) + 1$ .

Step 2.1

Multiply $17$ by $1$ .

$- 10 = 17 + 1$

Step 2.2

Add $17$ and $1$ .

$- 10 = 18$

Step 3

Since $- 10 \neq 18$ , there are no solutions.

No solution

Step 4

Since the equation is not true when the values are used, the ordered pair is not a solution.

The ordered pair is not a solution to the equation.
