Answer 1

full question (please post this next time)

Mr. Hann is trying to decide how many new copies of a book to order for his students. Each book weighs 6 ounces. Which ordered pair is a viable solution if x represents the number of books he orders and y represents the total weight of the books, in ounces? (–3, –18) (–0.5, –3) (0, 0) (0.5, 3)

Answer 2

the weight of one book is 6 oz
the weight of two books is 6 *2 = 12 oz
so extending the logic, if x is the number of books, y is the weight of the books, and y = 6*x

translating this to coordinates, any coordinate that is a solution of this equation, will have the y-coordinate be 6 times the x-coordinate

a second thing to consider: since x represents the # of books, x must be non-negative (negative books has no real-life meaning)

with all that in mind, try to see which coordinate would be a solution to this problem
