determine which ordered pair is a solution of y = x + 2/5 (< that's a fraction and so are those down dere)

(0,0)

(1,2/5)

(1,2/5)

(2,2 2/5)

Respuesta :

Plug the x and y-values into the given equation.  If it makes a true statement, then it is a solution.

y = x + [tex] \frac{2}{5}  [/tex]

(0,0) → 0 = 0 +  [tex] \frac{2}{5}  [/tex]   FALSE

(1, [tex] \frac{2}{5}  [/tex]) →  [tex] \frac{2}{5}  [/tex] = 1 +  [tex] \frac{2}{5}  [/tex]   FALSE

(2, 2 [tex] \frac{2}{5}  [/tex])  →  2 [tex] \frac{2}{5}  [/tex] = 2 +  [tex] \frac{2}{5}  [/tex]   TRUE

Answer: (2, 2 [tex] \frac{2}{5}  [/tex])

Answer:

The ordered pair which is a solution to the given equation is:

                       [tex](2,2\dfrac{2}{5})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a equation in terms of x as follows:

             [tex]y=x+\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

Now, we are asked to find which ordered pair is a solution to the given equation.

i.e. we will put each of the given points in the equation and see which holds true.

a)

    (0,0)

we put x=0 and y=0 in the equation.

[tex]0=0+\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\i.e.\\\\0=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

which is not a true statement.

Hence, (0,0) is not a solution to the equation.

b)

         (1,2/5)

we put x=1 and y=2/5

[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}=1+\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\i.e.\\\\\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5+2}{5}\\\\\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{7}{5}[/tex]

which is again incorrect.

Hence, (1,2/5) is not a solution to the equation.

c)

   (2, 2 2/5)

Now, we put [tex]x=2\ and\ y=2\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]x=2\ and\ y=\dfrac{12}{5}[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]\dfrac{12}{5}=2+\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\dfrac{12}{5}=\dfrac{2\times 5+2}{5}\\\\\dfrac{12}{5}=\dfrac{12}{5}[/tex]

which is correct.

Hence,

[tex](2,2\dfrac{2}{5})\ \text{is a solution to the given equation}[/tex]
