Question

Complete the table below to find solutions to the linear equation −8x+y=8.

Use parentheses when entering ordered pairs.

Answer 1

First, re-arrange the linear equation to y = 8x + 8 by adding 8x to both sides. To find solutions to the linear equation, substitute in values of your choosing for x (or use the table's values for x) and then evaluate the expression to find y.

For example, if you selected x = 1, then:

y = 8(1) + 8 = 16

So, the ordered pair, (x, y), would be (1, 16)

Another example, if you let x = -1, then:

y = 8(-1) + 8 = 0

So, the ordered pair would be (-1, 0)
