The ordered pair to complete is not included...

To complete the ordered pair, take the given number, let's say it is (?, 3): x = ?, y = 3

Start by substituting it in for y, and solve for x

y = 4 - 5x (rearranged to slope-intercept form for simplicity)

3 = 4 - 5x

-1 = -5x

x = 1/5 = .2

The completed pair is now: (.2, 3)

For another example, let's take the given number as (8, ?), x = 8, y = ?

y = 4 - 5x

y = 4 - 5 x 8

y = 4 - 40

y = -36

(8, -36)
