Question

Using the replacement set, find the solutions for the equation.
y = 0.5x + 10 Replacement Set: {(-2, 9.5), (0, 10),(3, 11.5),(4, 13)}

Answer 1

You just need to plug the x and y values in each pair into the equation and find which ones make the equation true. For example using (-2, 9.5):
\[9.5=(0.5\times-2)+10=-1+10=9\]
Obviously the first pair is not a solution.
Can you try the second pair in the set?

Answer 2

Thanks that really helps

Answer 3

Algebra is so not my thing

Answer 4

Trying to help my kiddo

Answer 5

To test the second pair, put 10 in place of y and 0 in place of x.

Answer 6

These are his options for answers so the 9 throws me for a loop

{(-2, 9.5), (0, 10),(3, 11.5),(4, 13)}

{(-2, 9.5), (0, 10),(3, 11.5)}

{(0, 10),(3, 11.5),(4, 13)}

{ (0, 10),(3, 11.5)}

Answer 7

I already showed you that (-2, 9.5) is not a solution, so the first two choices are not correct.

Answer 8

oh duh sorry

Answer 9

lol

Answer 10

I understand your question. Obviously 9.5 does not equal 9. Can you test the second pair of values?

Answer 11

i think it's the last one

Answer 12

Yes, the last choice is correct.
