Question

Determine which ordered pair is a solution of y equals 8x.
the answer choices are in the photo

Answer 1

Explanation

Our task is to determine which ordered pair is a solution of the following equation:

`y=8x`

Let's plug these ordered pairs in. I'll plug in 1.5 for x and 10 for y (this is our first answer choice). Let's see if it works.

`10=8*1.5`

`10=12`

Which isn't true; the ordered pair (1.5,10) isn't a solution for this particular equation.

Let's move on to our second answer choice. Put in 2 for x and 16 for y. See if that works.

`16=8*2`

`16=16`

It did work this time, therefore, we jump to the conclusion that the ordered pair (8,16) is the solution for this equation.
