y = x - 2.....its just a matter of subbing in ur points to see which  ones are true.

(3,1)...x = 3 and y = 1

y = x - 2
1 = 3 - 2
1 = 1 (correct)

so ur solution is (3,1)

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

(3, 1)  is the ordered pair that is the solution of the equation y = x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : equation y = x - 2

We have to find the ordered pair that is the solution of the equation y = x - 2

We will check each option one by one and see which satisfies the given equation.

Consider equation y = x - 2

a)  (3, 1)

Put x = 3 and y = 1

LHS = 3 - 2 = 1 = y

b) (1, 3)

Put x = 1 and y = 3

 LHS = 1 - 2 = -1 ≠ y

c) (-1, 3)

Put x = -1 and y = 3

 LHS = -1 - 2 = -3 ≠ y

d) (3, -1)

Put x = 3 and y = -1

 LHS = 3 - 2 = -3 ≠ y

Therefore, only (a) is correct.
