Question

Which three ordered pairs complete the table to give solutions of the equation y = x – 5?



A.
(–3, –2), (0, –5), and (3, 2)

B.
(–3, –2), (0, –5), and (3, –2)

C.
(–3, –8), (0, –5), and (3, 2)

D.
(–3, –8), (0, –5), and (3, –2)

Answer 1

what do you think the answer is?

Answer 2

I Think its B But it a Way I think its not..

Answer 3

why do you think its B?

Answer 4

Because i looked up a Website that Couldve helped me Abd I Found the cordinates And im Not Sure if i Got them In the right Format..

Answer 5

well the answer is not B, do you want help with understanding this?

Answer 6

Yes please

Answer 7

ok so answer some questions for me

Answer 8

Ok But Im not so good at this Soo..

Answer 9

thats ok, nobody is good at it until they practice it

Answer 10

thats the definition of learning

Answer 11

ok heres my first question

Answer 12

Yea I Was sick the Day i Was suppose to Practice It and im Tyring to Understand it for today

Answer 13

if i give you the point (-3, -2) what is the x coordinate and what is the y coordinate of that point?

Answer 14

Wouldn't It Be..

Answer 15

Sorry i Crashed

Answer 16

okay

Answer 17

ok so whats the answer to my question?

Answer 18

Wouldve -2 Be the y Cordinate?

Answer 19

Either that Or im Just Plain COnfused D:

Answer 20

yes -2 is the y coordinate, what is the x coordinate?

Answer 21

A
-2 = -3 - 5, -2 = -8 is wrong which means A is not the answer

B
-2 = -3 -5, -2 = -8 is wrong which means B is not the answer

C
-8 = -3 - 5, -8 = -8
-5 = 0 - 5, -5 = -5
2 = 3 - 5, 2 = -2 is wrong so C is not the answer

Answer 22

. . .

Answer 23

@iiForeverLost plz ignore that

Answer 24

-3 Would be the X Cordinate

Answer 25

correct!

Answer 26

Yay im Learning

Answer 27

ok so if i give you (-3, -2) you told me x coordinate is -3 and y coordinate is -2, that is correct, perfect

so

are you ok if i say x = -3 and y = -2 for that point?

using = instead of the word "is"?

Answer 28

Yea

Answer 29

It Makes more sence honestly

Answer 30

ok perfect, so we have the equation for a line

we have

y = x - 5

and we want to know if those points are on that line, in order to do that we can replace x with the x coordinate of the point and y with the y coordinate of the point, and then see if that makes a true statement, of that is a true statement then we can plot the point which will be part of our line

Answer 31

but Wouldnt the Answer Be D Because If X Is -3 And Y Is 2 And x - 5 Is (-5 and 0?

Answer 32

so lets try plugging the point (-3, -2) into y = x - 5

Answer 33

im not sure what you mean by that exactly

Answer 34

lets just go step by step

Answer 35

Like What i mean is If you connected all the Cordinates they would End up in the order

Answer 36

umm yes if you connect all the coordinates with a line, they will make a straight line

Answer 37

for a linear equation

Answer 38

Exactly
And i Went on the COnfusing website again and I Found the cordinates But Im not sure if i did this right..

Answer 39

ok but forget all that, just focus on what im asking, and we will learn this step by step

Answer 40

Ok

Answer 41

-.- plug all your points in love if you have points

Answer 42

Ok Ive done that and it got Me D..

Answer 43

:)

Answer 44

ok good for u, correct

Answer 45

Is D Right?

Answer 46

Who Wants the medal?

Answer 47

yes D is right, i hope you understand why its right, i dont care at all about medals, so plz give it to someone else

Answer 48

yea

Answer 49

if you arent sure why D is right and want to to know why, then msg me

Answer 50

Ok Thank you, Both of You
