Find Three Ordered Pair Solutions y+6.75=0.25(x-1)

$y + 6.75 = 0.25 (x - 1)$

Step 1

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Simplify $0.25 (x - 1)$ .

Rewrite.

$y + 6.75 = 0 + 0 + 0.25 (x - 1)$

Simplify by adding zeros.

$y + 6.75 = 0.25 (x - 1)$

Apply the distributive property.

$y + 6.75 = 0.25 x + 0.25 \cdot - 1$

Multiply $0.25$ by $- 1$ .

$y + 6.75 = 0.25 x - 0.25$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $6.75$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 0.25 x - 0.25 - 6.75$

Subtract $6.75$ from $- 0.25$ .

$y = 0.25 x - 7$

Step 2

Choose any value for $x$ that is in the domain to plug into the equation.

Step 3

Choose $0$ to substitute in for $x$ to find the ordered pair.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0.25 (0) - 7$

Simplify $0.25 (0) - 7$ .

Multiply $0.25$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 - 7$

Subtract $7$ from $0$ .

$y = - 7$

Use the $x$ and $y$ values to form the ordered pair.

$(0, - 7)$

Step 4

Choose $1$ to substitute in for $x$ to find the ordered pair.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0.25 (1) - 7$

Simplify $0.25 (1) - 7$ .

Multiply $0.25$ by $1$ .

$y = 0.25 - 7$

Subtract $7$ from $0.25$ .

$y = - 6.75$

Use the $x$ and $y$ values to form the ordered pair.

$(1, - 6.75)$

Step 5

Choose $2$ to substitute in for $x$ to find the ordered pair.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0.25 (2) - 7$

Simplify $0.25 (2) - 7$ .

Multiply $0.25$ by $2$ .

$y = 0.5 - 7$

Subtract $7$ from $0.5$ .

$y = - 6.5$

Use the $x$ and $y$ values to form the ordered pair.

$(2, - 6.5)$

Step 6

These are three possible solutions to the equation.

$(0, - 7), (1, - 6.75), (2, - 6.5)$

Step 7

Find Three Ordered Pair Solutions y+6.75=0.25(x-1)
