What is the ordered pair to the equation Y equals 3X - 2?

Answer 1

1

Answer 2

The ordered pair to the equation y = 3x - 2 represents a relationship between the x and y variables. In this equation, the coefficient of x is 3, indicating that for every unit increase in x, y will increase by 3 units. The constant term -2 indicates that the line crosses the y-axis at y = -2. To find specific ordered pairs, you would need to choose a value for x and then calculate the corresponding y value using the equation.

Answer 3

Y = 3X - 2

zero out the variables in turn

Y = 3(0) - 2

Y = - 2

==========================

Supervisors have taken me to the woodshed when I deleted an answer, so I've

left the first answer in place above. But if you take that one too seriously, then

you'll lose the whole idea of the "ordered pair".

There are an infinite number of ordered pairs that satisfy the equation. Just pick

any number you want for 'x' . . . anything at all . . . then put it in place of 'x' in

the equation, and do the arithmetic to figure out what 'y' is. When you do that,

you have one 'ordered pair' ... the number you picked for 'x', and the number that

'y' turned out to be.

The first answer up above showed you how to find twoordered pairs. In fact, the

two that it found happen to be the x-intercept and the y-intercept when you draw

a graph of the equation. But every point on the graph is another ordered pair, and

there are an infinite number more of them.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, that's just a fancy way of saying "plug in a number for X and see what Y is." So, like, if you put in X=1, then Y=3(1) - 2 = 1. So, the ordered pair is (1, 1). Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
