y-5=0
y=5
......
(-6,5)

Answer 2

Keywords:

equation, variables, ordered pair, solution

For this case we have an equation with two variables, "x" and "y". Also, we have that the value of "x" is given by:
`x = -6`. We must find the ordered pair of the solution of the equation.

Let:
`\frac {2} {3} x + y -1 = 0`

We substitute
`x = -6` in the equation:

`\frac {2} {3} (- 6) + y -1 = 0\\-4 + y-1 = 0\\y = 1 + 4\\y = 5`

Thus, the ordered pair that is the solution of the equation
`\frac {2} {3} x + y -1 = 0` is
`(x, y) = (- 6,5)`

Answer:

`(x, y) = (- 6,5)`
