To find a solution for the equation \(1.5x - 2y = 8\), we can choose a value for \(x\) or \(y\) and solve for the other variable.
Let's test some potential solutions.
If \(x = 0\): \[ 1.5(0) - 2y = 8 \implies -2y = 8 \implies y = -4 \] So, the point \((0, -4)\) is a solution.
If \(y = 0\): \[ 1.5x - 2(0) = 8 \implies 1.5x = 8 \implies x = \frac{8}{1.5} \approx 5.33 \] So, the point \((\frac{8}{1.5}, 0)\) or approximately \((5.33, 0)\) is another solution.
If you have specific options for solutions, please provide them and I can help you determine which one is correct!
