Question

How do you find five ordered pairs of y = –5x + 4?

Answer 1

Arbitrarily select `5` different values for `x`
then use the given equation to find corresponding `y` values
thus generating an ordered pair for each of your `5` selections.

Explanation:

Example:
Suppose we decide for our set of `x` values to use `{0,1,2,3,4}`

Using `y=-5x+4` to evaluate the `"corresponding "y` for each value of `x`:

`{: (underline(x),color(white)("XX"),underline("corresponding "y),color(white)("XX"),underline("ordered pair")), (0,,color(white)("XXXX")4,,(0,4)), (1,,color(white)("XXX")-1,,(1,-1)), (2,,color(white)("XXX")-6,,(2,-6)), (3,,color(white)("XXX")-11,,(3,-11)), (4,,color(white)("XXX")-16,,(4,-16)) :}`
