Question

for the following equation
y=-1/2x+5
complete the following ordered pair so that it is a solution to the equation
( , -3

Answer 1

You have a y value of -3 so plug that in for y and solve for x

-3 = -1/2x + 5

Answer 2

Subtract 5 from both sides
-5 = -1/2x

Answer 3

Multiply both sides by -2

10 = x

Answer 4

so (10,-3)

Answer 5

isolate x

-1/2 x = y -5
x=(y-5)/-1/2

repalace y=-3 into this equation

x=16


so the point is (16, -3)
