Q:

Which ordered pair can be included in the table of values shown below for the equation p=25x-2?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:(0,-2)Step-by-step explanation:So since you are given the equation, p=25x-2, all you really need to do is plug in the ordered pairs and see which satisfies the equation.This means makes both side have the same number value.Let's try (x,p)=(-2,-2):  p=25x-2 with (x,p)=(-2,-2)-2=25(-2)-2-2=-50-2-2=-52-2 and -52 do not represent the same number so (-2,-2) is not a point on the given line.Let's try (x,p)=(-2,0): p=25 x -2 with (x,p)=(-2,0)0=25(-2)-20=-50-20=-520 and -52 do not represent the same number so (-2,0) is not a point on the given line.Let's try (x,p)=(0,-2): p=25 x  -2 with (x,p)=(0,-2)-2=25(0)-2-2=0   -2-2=-2-2 and -2 are the same number and so (0,-2) is a point on the line.Let's try (x,p)=(0,0) p=25 x  -2 with (x,p)=(0,0)0 =25(0)-20 =  0   -20 =   -20 and -2 are not the same number so (0,0) is not a point on this line.
