Question

I just want to see if I worked this problem out correctly, cause I always struggle with these problems. The problem is this:

y=1/5x -3

I have to find the y in both ordered pairs which are:

(5,_) and (0,_)

First I plugged the 5 into the equation making it:

y=1/5(5)-3
y=5/5-3
y=1-3
y=-2

The final answer is -2 for the y in the ordered pair (5,_). Which makes it, (5,-2).

The second one is the same except I plug 0 into the problem:

y=1/5(0)-3

Which makes it this:

y=-3.

So the ordered pair for (0,_) would be (0,-3).

Did I work these out correctly?

Answer 1

yes, you did them perfectly. good job!

Answer 2

Thanks, I wanted to make sure since I always struggle with these.
