mathmale · Answer

you are given 2 possible x values:  0 and 1.

Which one, when substituted into the given equation, produces an output (result) of 17?

mathmale · Answer

If y=17x, x is regarded as the input value, y as the output, and 17 as the "direct variation constant" or "slope."

Look at (17,1).  Your x-coord. is 17 and your y-coord. is 1.

Suppose we substitute 17, your x-coord., for x in the equation y=17x.  Is your result 1?  In other words, is y now 1?  If yes, then you've chosen the correct ordered pair.  If not, better go back to the drawing board.
