Question

Find an ordered pair (x,y) that is a solution to the equation

Answer 1

(3, -11)

Explanation:

Rearranging the equation becomes a slope-intercept form:

`y = 2 - 3x`

where m = slope of equation =
`-3`

and c = intercept =
`2`

Substitute any value of x into the above slope-intercept equation to determine it's corresponding y value. Together these x and y values will form an ordered pair.

For example:

Take x = 3 and substitute in the above mentioned equation:

`y = 2 - 3(3)`

`= 2 - 9`

y =
`-11`

∴ An ordered pair that is a solution to the equation: (3, -11)
