Question

Consider the following equation.5x - 4y = 17Step 1 of 2: Determine the missing coordinate in the ordered pair (-5, ?) so that it will satisfy the given equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The coordinate is (-5, -21/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing coordinate is obtained as follows:

In the given equation:

5x - 4y = 17, replace x by -5 and solve for y

5(-5) - 4y = 17

-25 - 4y = 17

-4y = 17 + 25

-4y = 42

y = 42/(-4) = -21/2

The coordinate is (-5, -21/2)
