Question

Brenda says that the ordered pair (9,36) is on the line for the equation, is she correct? Explain.

Equation: 4x=y

Answer 1

To determine if the ordered pair (9,36) is on the line for the equation 4x = y, we can substitute x=9 into the equation and see if it equals y=36:

4(9) = y
36 = y

Therefore, Brenda is correct. The ordered pair (9,36) lies on the line for the equation 4x = y.
