five ordered pairs on the graph of y = -0.5x.

Answer 1

We can pick any 5 numbers to plug in for x and then we see what we get for y

So let's plugin 1,2,3,4,5

1 times -.5 equals -5 so the ordered pair is (1,-0.5)

2 times -.5 equals -1 so the ordered pair is (2,-1)

3 times -.5 equals -1.5 so the ordered pair is (3,-1.5)

4 times -.5 equals -2 so the ordered pair is (4,-2)

5 times -.5 equals -2.5 so the ordered pair is (5,-2.5)

Answer 2

Hello, Katelyn,

If the phrase "five ordered pairs" means find five points on the graph of y = -0.5x, then here's how to find them. If not, please restate your question.

If we want to find five points that fall on the line, simply enter any value you want for x and then calculate y.

I picked 5 easy y values and calculated x to produce the table:
