-4y=x is the equation of a line and has infinite solutions. Each solution is an ordered pair. We usually write this as (x,y). It is called an ordered pair because we cannot exchange the x and y in general. So (x,y) does not generally equal (y,x).
Now in this case, pick any value for x, say 0, and y is 0. The solution (0,0) is one ordered pair.
Now, take x=1 and y=-1/4. So (1, -1/4) is another solution.

Find four ordered pairs for the equation x equals -5?
This first number in an ordered pair is x. And since x is always -5, all these work. (-5,0),(-5,1),(-5,2),(-5,3),(-5,4)
How do you find the slope from ordered pairs?
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) y=mx+b
How do you find the domain of a relation given by a set of ordered pairs?
its the x coordinate (first number) It is the set of values that the x coordinate can take.
What times what number equals 14?
Ah, what a lovely question! To find the number that, when multiplied by itself, equals 14, we simply need to take the square root of 14. The square root of 14 is approximately 3.74, so 3.74 times 3.74 equals 14. Keep exploring the beauty of numbers, my friend!
What is the ordered pair to 2x-5y equals -1?
The equation 2x-5y=-1 has a graph that is a line. Every point on that line is an ordered pair that is a solution to the equation. So pick any real number x and plug it in. You will find a y and that pair (x,y) is an ordered pair that is a solution to this equation. For example, let x=0 Then we have -5y=-1so y=1/5 The ordered pair (0, 1/5) is a point on the line and a solution to the equation.
