Find 6 order pair solutions for -10x-y=4

Question

Find additional order pairs for -10x-y=4

Answer 1

Use substitution. Start by letting x = 0.

0 - y = 4

-y = 4

y = -4

One ordered pair is (0, -4)

 

Now, let y = 0

-10x - 0 = 4

-10x = 4

x = -4/10 = -2/5

Another ordered pair is (-2/5, 0)

 

Let y = 6

-10x - 6 = 4

-10x = 10

x = -1

A third ordered pair is (-1, 6)

 

Let x = 1/2

-10(1/2) - y = 4

-5 - y = 4

-5 = y + 4

y = -5 - 4 = -9

A fourth ordered pair is (1/2, -9)

 

Let x = -1/2

-10(-1/2) - y = 4

5 - y = 4

5 = y + 4

y = 5 - 4 = 1

A fifth ordered pair is (-1/2, 1)

 

Let y = 16

-10x - 16 = 4

-10x = 20

x = -2

A sixth ordered pair is (-2, 16)
