Chapter 1.9, Problem 2P

Tell whether the given equation has the ordered pair as a solution.

$y=x+8;(8,0)$

To determine

To determine if the given equation has the ordered pair as a solution.

Answer to Problem 2P

Given ordered pair is not the solution of the equation.

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

  $y=x+8;(8,0)$

Here we shall put the values of the ordered pair in the given equation and then we shall check if the values satisfy the equation or not.

Given values are $x=8,y=0$

Put the values in given equation we get,

  $\begin{array}{l}y=0\\ x+8=8+8=16\end{array}$

Hence we get $y\ne x+8$for given ordered pair.

Hence the given ordered pair is not the solution of the equation.
