Question

The table shows ordered pairs of the function y = 16 + 0.5x .

Answer 1

The missing values represented by x and y are 8 and 20, that is

(x, y) = (8, 20)

The function y = 16 + 0.5x is a linear equation that can be solved graphically. This means the values of both variables x and y can be found on different points along the straight-line graph.

The ordered pairs simply mean for every value of x, there is a corresponding value of y.

The 2-column table has values for x and y which all satisfy the equation y = 16 + 0.5x. Taking the first row, for example, the pair is given as (-4, 14).

This means when x equals negative 4, y equals 14.

Where y = 16 + 0.5x

y = 16 + 0.5(-4)

y = 16 + (-2)

y = 16 - 2

y = 14

Therefore the first pair, just like the other four pairs all satisfy the equation.

Hence, looking at the options given, we can determine which satisfies the equation

(option 1) When x = 0

y = 16 + 0.5(0)

y = 16 + 0

y = 16

(0, 16)

(option 2) When x = 5

y = 16 + 0.5(5)

y = 16 + 2.5

y = 18.5

(5, 18.5)

(option 3) When x = 8

y = 16 + 0.5(8)

y = 16 + 4

y = 20

(8, 20)

From our calculations, the third option (8, 20) is the correct ordered pair that would fill in the missing values x and y.
