For a question of this sort, an ordered pair is (x-value, y-value). A solution is a pair (x, y) that "satisfies" the equation, That is, the solution values make the equation be true. If the equation is not true, the ordered pair is not a solution. For example, pair [B] gives
.. 2(1) -3(-1) +1 = 0
.. 2 +3 +1 = 0
.. 6 = 0 . . . FALSE. (1, -1) is NOT A SOLUTION to the equation.
