Given the ordered pair:

(8, 5)

Let's find the ordered pair that represents a point on the same graph assuming this is a graph of a proportional relationship.

Here, we have:

(x, y) ==> (8, 5)

Since this is a graph of a proportional relationship, let's find the constant of proportionality.

We have:


K=(y)/(x)=(5)/(8)

This means when x is 1, y is 5/8.

Thus, the ordered pair that also represents a point on the same graph is:


(1,(5)/(8))

ANSWER:


\text{ B. (1, }(5)/(8))
