how do i know if this is an ordered pair, (4,20)y=3x-8

OpenStudy (amistre64):

by seeing if it makes a true statement

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when x=4; does y=20?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i assume you mean a solution; otherwise, yes; its an ordered pair

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but not sure where to plug in the numbers to determine the solution

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a point is read as (x,y) so: (4,20) reads as: (x=4, y=20) then they give you an equation with an x and a y in it to replace with the given values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i think i have to work on that one some..ty!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

y = 3x - 8 does: 20 = 3(4) - 8 ?
