Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

One order pair is  

( 2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

What ordered pairs are the options?

Pick a value for  

x

and solve for  

y

. Or find the intercepts.

If  

x

=

2

, then:

y

=

2

−

2

⇒

y

=

0

So we have  

(

2

,

0

)

If  

x

=

0

, then:

y

=

0

−

2

⇒

y

=

−

2

Here we have  

(

0

,

−

2

)

You can simply use  

0

for both  

x

and  

y

(intercept) to get the same answer.
