Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given linear equation.
(2,7);x-y=9
Choose the correct answer below.
A. The ordered pair is a solution of the equation because substituting the values of x and y in the
equation x-y=9 results in a true statement, -5=-5
B. The ordered pair is not a solution of the equation because substituting the values of x and y in
the equation x-y=9 results in a false statement, -5=9
C. The ordered pair is a solution of the equation because substituting the values of x and y in the
equation x-y=9 results in a true statement, 9=9
D. The ordered pair is not a solution of the equation because substituting the values of x and y in
the equation x-y=9 results in a false statement, 5=9
