Using the equation y 58x 23 complete the given ordered pai
Using the equation y = 5/8x - 2/3 complete the given ordered pairs: (8, _______) (________, -1/2).
Solution
a) Substitue x = 8,
=> y = (5/8)*8 - 2/3 = 5 - 2/3 = 13/3
Hence, the ordered pair is: (8, 13/3)
b) Substitue y = -1/2
=> -1/2 = (5/8)*x -2/3
=> (5/8)*x = 2/3 - 1/2 = 1/6
=> x = (1/6)*(8/5) = 4/15
Hence, the ordered pair is (4/15, -1/2)
