Help with linear

Question

complete each ordered pair so that it is a solution of the linear equation

Y=1/5x-2; (-20, ) ( ,-1)

Answer 1

So, for every "ordered pair" the 1st number is the x-value and the 2nd number is the y-value.

y = (1/5)x - 2

1st ordered pair: (-20, ____)

The x-value is -20, so replace x with that number and solve for y.

y = (1/5)(-20) - 2

y = -4 - 2 = -6

(-20, -6)

2nd ordered pair: (____, -1)

The y-value is -1, so replace y with that number and solve for x.

-1 = (1/5)x - 2

+2. +2

1 = (1/5)x

(5)1 = (1/5)x × 5

x = 5

(5, -1)

Answer 2

For the first point, x = -20.

So, y = (1/5)(-20) - 2 = -6 Solution (-20, -6)

For the other point, y = -1. Plug that in for y and solve for x.
