Answer 1

Do you have a question?

Answer 2

PART C ONLYYY

Answer 3

So what is the function?

Answer 4

f(x)=-x+6

Answer 5

where x is the distance from the hoop
and y is the numbers of hoops made

Answer 6

(x,y) is an ordered pair

Answer 7

So if I asked you what is the ordered pair for when he 2 meters away from the hoop, would you be able to find that ordered pair?

Answer 8

since y=f(x)
you can also view the ordered pair as (x,f(x))

Answer 9

So what am I asking really?
I'm asking you to give me the ordered pair for when x=2.
Could you do that?

Answer 10

Ummm is it (2,8)?

Answer 11

how did you get 8?

Answer 12

Is the function f(x)=-x+6
or f(x)=x+6?

Answer 13

the first one

Answer 14

So -2+6 is?

Answer 15

oh i thought it was a negative 2

Answer 16

ok so yeah the answer is 4

Answer 17

So the ordered pair from when he is 2 meters from the goal is (2,-2+6)

Answer 18

(2,4)?

Answer 19

your question is to find the ordered pair when he is p meters away from the goal

Answer 20

so instead of plugging in 2 we are going to plug in p

Answer 21

so (2, p+6)

Answer 22

well no
remember ordered pairs look like (x,f(x))

and x is no longer 2
because we are looking at when he is p meters away from the goal
and also your negative is missing on your p in the y part

Answer 23

O_O what

Answer 24

Why did you put x is 2 in that ordered pair?
And what happen to the negative?

Answer 25

Remember f(x)=-x+6
not x+6

Answer 26

you are replacing x with p only

Answer 27

ohkay so.. umm.. i have no clue

Answer 28

sorry..

Answer 29

you said when he is 2 meters away we have (2,-2+6)
if you can do that
then you can find the ordered pair for when he is p meters away

Just replace the x's in

(x,f(x))

Answer 30

That is all you did for x=2
I don't see how x=p is any different that what we did for x=2

Answer 31

So.. (2,-p+6)??

Answer 32

again we are not replacing p with 2

Answer 33

you got the y-coordinate correct
but for some reason you are replacing the coordinate with 2

Answer 34

x-coordinate with 2*

Answer 35

Look at 2 meters away we have (2,-2+6)
At 3 meters away we have (3,-3+6)
At 5 meters away we have (5,-5+6)

At p meters away we have ( ? , -p+6)

Answer 36

what should the ? be

Answer 37

p?

Answer 38

yes
at p meters away we have -p+6 amount of hoops made
so the ordered pair is (p,-p+6)

Answer 39

Oh and that is the answer?

Answer 40

What does the question ask?

Answer 41

write an ordered pair

Answer 42

Is (p,-p+6) an ordered pair?

Answer 43

yes

Answer 44

ok

Answer 45

So it IS my answer right?

Answer 46

Only if you are convinced it is?
If you aren't convinced then what are you confused about?
