Does the ordered pair (−1,−3) satisfy the following system of equations? {2x+5y=−17−4x+3y=−5

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Try it and see:

  2(-1) +5(-3) = -2-15 = -17 . . . . . works in the first equation

  -4(-1) +3(-3) = 4 -9 = -5 . . . . . . works in the second equation

Yes, the ordered pair (-1, -3) satisfies the equations.
