Miriam drives for a trip and y = the total cost for a trip, which of these ordered pairs is a
solution to the equation that describes this situation? (1 Point)
(10, 10)
(2,7)
(12, 12)
(5, 6.5)

Answer 1

(10,10)

Explanation:

y = .5x + 5

If you put in 10 for x, we get 10 for y.

y = .5(10) + 5

y =5 + 5

y = 10

When x is 10, y is 10 (10,10)
