Which of the following is not a solution to the equation −2x + 3y = 9.

Question options:

(0, 3)


(1 , -3)


(-3 , 1)

Respuesta :

Given that the equation [tex]-2x+3y=9[/tex]

We need to determine the coordinate that is not a solution to the equation.

Option A: (0,3)

Substituting the coordinate (0,3) in the equation [tex]-2x+3y=9[/tex], we get;

[tex]-2(0)+3(3)=9[/tex]

           [tex]0+9=9[/tex]

                 [tex]9=9[/tex]

Since, both sides of the equation are equal, then the coordinate (0,3) is a solution to the equation.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: (1,-3)

Substituting the coordinate (1,-3) in the equation  [tex]-2x+3y=9[/tex], we get;

[tex]-2(1)+3(-3)=9[/tex]

           [tex]-2-9=9[/tex]

               [tex]-11\neq 9[/tex]

Since, both sides of the equation are not equal, then the coordinate (1,-3) is not a solution to the equation.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: (-3,1)

Substituting the coordinate (-3,1) in the equation  [tex]-2x+3y=9[/tex], we get;

[tex]-2(-3)+3(1)=9[/tex]

              [tex]6+3=9[/tex]

                    [tex]9=9[/tex]

Since, both sides of the equation are equal, then the coordinate (-3,1) is a solution to the equation.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Therefore, the coordinate (1,-3) is not a solution to the equation [tex]-2x+3y=9[/tex]
