Question

Consider the equation and the following ordered pairs: (−4,y) and (x,2) . y=−3x−4 Step 1 of 2 : Compute the missing x and y values so that each ordered pair will satisfy the given equation.

Answer 1

To satisfy the equation y = -3x - 4, we need to substitute the given values of x and y in the equation and check if it holds true.

For the ordered pair (-4, y):

y = -3(-4) - 4

y = 12 - 4

y = 8

So, the ordered pair (-4, 8) satisfies the equation y = -3x - 4.

For the ordered pair (x, 2):

2 = -3x - 4

6 = -3x

x = -2

So, the ordered pair (-2, 2) satisfies the equation y = -3x - 4.
