Question

y+x=-10 type two ordered pairs and graph the y intercept

Answer 1

that is a downward straight line with angular coefficient -1 and intercept y at -10.

y=-x -10

Answer 2

so how would you get two ordered pairs out of that?

Answer 3

intercept on (0 , -10)

Answer 4

yes that is the solution but I need something like ( , ) , ( ,) to plot tow points and get the solution.

Answer 5

Getting two ordered pairs for an equation should be done as follows:

1) Pick any one value of y you like. Plug into the equation and find the corresponding value of x. Your first ordered pair will be (x you calculated, y you selected).

2) Pick any second value of y you like. Plug into the equation and find the corresponding value of x. Your second ordered pair will be (x you calculated, y you selected).

Answer 6

o ok... make y=0 and solve to x

0=-x-10

x=-10

points:

(-10, 0) and (0 , -10)

Answer 7

put x = 0 u will get what y = -10
put y = 0 u will get x = -10
thus u having two points
(0, - 10) and (-10,0)

Answer 8

Thanks a million!

Answer 9

Ordered pairs on a line DON'T have to be the intercepts. So, what I suggest above is a more general solution to find any two ordered pairs on the line.
