The point (5, -1) is a solution of the equation: y = 2x - 11 a) true b) false

A) True is the answer you are looking for.

Hi there!
We are asked to find whether or not the point (5, -1) is a solution to the equation y = 2x - 11. To get our answer, all we have to plug in the x-coordinate for x, and the y-coordinate for y. This means that x = 5 and y = -1. Let's plug it back into the equation:
y = 2x - 11
-1 = 2(5) - 11
-1 = 10 - 11
-1 = -1      ←True Statement
Since we have arrived at a true statement, (5, -1) is a solution to the equation y= 2x - 11. Therefore, the answer is a) True. Hope this helped and have a marvelous day!
