Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine if the ordered pair (15,7) is a solution to the equation $y = \frac{4}{5}x - 5$, substitute $x = 15$ into the equation and see if $y$ equals 7. Substituting $x = 15$ gives $y = \frac{4}{5}(15) - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7$, which matches the $y$-value of the ordered pair, confirming it as a solution.
