Question

What ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y=-2x-5

Answer 1

$2(0) + y = 5$

$y = 5$

• The ordered pair is (0,5).

Answer 2

$\sf \underline{Answer:}$

Pick any value for x, like x = 0, plug it into the equation, and get the value for y. For x = 0,

2(0) + y = 5

y = 5

The ordered pair is (0,5). Find other ordered pairs using the same reasoning.
