Question

Check all of the ordered pairs that satisfy the equation below.y=2/5x

Answer 1

We are going to do this step by step:

Let's start with option A

A.

X = 25 and Y = 5/2

$y=\frac{2}{5}\cdot x=\frac{2}{5}\cdot25=\frac{2\cdot25}{5}=\frac{50}{5}=\frac{5\cdot10}{5\cdot1}=10$

In this case, when X = 25 , then Y = 10 ,which is different to 5/2

B.

X = 14 , Y = 35

$y=\frac{2}{5}\cdot14=\frac{28}{5}$

In case, when X = 14, then Y = 28/5, which is different to 35

C.

X = 40 , Y = 24

$y=\frac{2}{5}\cdot40=\frac{80}{5}=16$

Similarly, in this case, when X = 40, then Y = 16, which is different to 24

D.

X = 10 , Y=4

$y=\frac{2}{5}\cdot10=\frac{20}{5}=4$

Now, in this case, we can see that when X = 10, then Y = 4 which is the same as the given value of Y

E.

X = 50 , Y = 20

$y=\frac{2}{5}\cdot50=\frac{100}{5}=20$

In this case, the values of Y are also the same.

F.

X = 30 , Y = 12

$y=\frac{2}{5}\cdot30=\frac{60}{5}=12$

Again, in this case, the values of Y are the same, so the pair satisfies the equation.

In conclusion: options D, E and F satisfy the equation
