To determine whether the ordered pair (5, -8) is a solution to the equation \( y = -8 \), we need to check if the value of \( y \) in the ordered pair satisfies the equation.
In the ordered pair (5, -8):
- The first number (5) represents \( x \).
- The second number (-8) represents \( y \).
Now, according to the equation \( y = -8 \):
- We need \( y \) to equal -8.
Since the value of \( y \) in the ordered pair (5, -8) is indeed -8, it satisfies the equation \( y = -8 \).
Therefore, yes, the ordered pair (5, -8) is a solution to the equation \( y = -8 \).
