Question

Find an ordered pair (x, y) that is a solution to the equation 4x + y = 1

Answer 1

Answer:

(0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are infinite number of (x,y) pairs in a line, so it should be easy to use any value for one of the coordinates (x or y) and find what the other coordinate should be. We can use a simple value that would make our solving easy, for example x = 0. We use this value to replace x in the equation of the line, and solve for y:

$4x+y=1\\4(0)+y=1\\0+y=1\\y=1$

Therefore the pair (0,1) is a solution for the given equation.
