Question

Complete the ordered pair (0, ? ) so that it is a solution to the linear equation y = 3x + 8
(0, 8)
(0, –8/3)
(8, 0)
(–8/3, 0)

Answer 1

(0,8)

Answer 2

The ordered pair (0, ? ) means that

x = 0
y = ? (ie y is unknown)

Answer 3

to find y, we plug in x = 0 and evaluate

y = 3x + 8

y = 3*0 + 8 ... replace x with 0 (since x = 0)

y = 0 + 8

y = 8

Answer 4

therefore, the ordered pair goes from

(0,?)

to

(0,8)
