Chapter 8, Problem 14MCQ

To determine

To calculate: To find four solutions of the equation and write the solutions as ordered pairs

Answer to Problem 14MCQ

The solutions of equation in ordered pair are $\left(0,0\right),\left(1,-5\right),\left(2,-10\right),\left(3,-15\right)$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Equation is $y=-5x$

Formula Used:

Ordered Pair: An ordered pair is a composition of the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate and is written as $\left(x,y\right)$

Calculation:

Equation is given as follows:

  $y=-5x$

In order to find the solutions of above equation:

When $x=0$

  $\begin{array}{l}y=-5\left(0\right)\\ y=0\end{array}$

When $x=1$

  $\begin{array}{l}y=-5\left(1\right)\\ y=-5\end{array}$

When $x=2$

  $\begin{array}{l}y=-5\left(2\right)\\ y=-10\end{array}$

When $x=3$

  $\begin{array}{l}y=-5\left(3\right)\\ y=-15\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence, solutions of equation in ordered pair are $\left(0,0\right),\left(1,-5\right),\left(2,-10\right),\left(3,-15\right)$
