Answer:

Explanation:

The last one -- D -- is the closest correct answer. None of them, however, is right.

y = -1/4 x + 8 Let x = - 8

y = -1/4 * - 8 + 8 The standard rule is starting from the left, do the multiplication first then do the addition

- 1/4 * - 8 will first of all give you a positive result. When 2 minuses are multiplied they give a positive answer.

-1/4 * - 8 = 1/4 * 8

1/4 * 8 = 2

y = 2 + 8

y = 10

So the ordered pair (-8 , 10) is the answer.
