Choose the ordered pair (x,y) that is a solution of the equation. -8x + 5y = 96
solve for x first,equate y=0 and solve
how
let x=0 first and then solve.
i need help
do you have a list of ordered pairs, or are you only supposed to find one?
A. (-3,11) B. (1,-19) C. (3,19) D. (-2,16)
i thought so since you have a list, you have to replace \(x\) and \(y\) by the numbers in each ordered pair \((x,y)\) and see if the equality is true or not
what do you mean
pick one of the points and i will show you choose one
c
(3,19) equation is \(-8x + 5y = 96 \) you replace \(x\) by \(3\) and\(y\) by \(19\) and you get \[-8\times 3+5\times 19=96\] which is either true or false, so we have to compute
\[-8\times 3+5\times 19=96\] \[-24+95=96\]? no it does not pick another one
a
(-3,11) \[-3\times (-3)+5\times 11=96?\] \[9+55=96?\] i don't think so pick another one
d
If it was choice d, then... -8x + 5y = 96 -8(-2) + 5(16) = 96 16 + 80 = 96 96 = 96 which is true So (-2,16) does lie on the line, which makes it a solution
