The graph of the equation 8x–5y=14 passes through a point with an abscissa of 1.2. Find the ordinate of the point.

I got .8 repeating but my teacher said that it was wrong. I then got 9.6 and it was also wrong. what am I doing wrong and can you put the answer with the explanation please.

Substitute 1.2 for x and solve for y:
8(1.2) - 5y = 14
9.6 - 5y = 14
-5y = 4.4
y = -0.88
