Question

Complete each ordered pair so that it is a solution of the given linear equation First ordered pair is (-15,?)The second of ordered pair is (?,-5)

Answer 1

To find the first ordered pair put x=-15 in the equation to get:

`y=(1)/(5)(-15)-1=-4`

So the first ordered pair is (-15,-4).

To find the second ordered pair, put y=-5 in the equation to get:

`\begin{gathered} -5=(1)/(5)x-1 \\ -4=(1)/(5)x \\ x=-20 \end{gathered}`

So the second ordered pair is (-20,-5).
