2x - 5y = 11. (4, a). x = 4, y = a

Substituting into 2x - 5y = 11

2(4) - 5(a) = 11

8 - 5a = 11

-5a = 11 - 8

-5a = 3

a = 3/-5 = -3/5 =- 0.6

Other coordinate = -3/5 = -0.6

Answer:

The other coordinate for the line 2x - 5y = 11 is
(-3)/(5)

Explanation:

Given : Equation of line as 2x - 5y = 11

We are given x-coordinate as 4 and we have to find the y- coordinate.

Consider the given equation of line as 2x - 5y = 11

Since, given x-coordinate of equation of line as 4

Put x = 4 in equation and solve for y, we have,

2(4) - 5y = 11

-5y = 11 - 8

-5y = 3

Thus,
y=(-3)/(5)

Thus, The other coordinate for the line 2x - 5y = 11 is
(-3)/(5)
