What is the ordered pairs that satisfy the equation #6x - 1y = 21#?

Answer 1

There are an infinite amount.

This equation is a line. There are infinitely many ordered pairs that can satisfy the equation #6x-1y=21#.

Here's a graph, on which you can see every single point that satisfies the equation: graph{6x-y=21 [-17.03, 19, -8.47, 9.56]}

Some (but not all!) examples of points that DO work would be #(0,-21),(21/6,0),(4,3),(2,-9),# and #(5/3,-11)#.

The ordered pairs that satisfy the equation (6x - y = 21) are ((x, y) = (-2, -33)), ((3, 3)), and ((8, 49)).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
