What is the ordered pairs that satisfy the equation y=1/5x?

Answer 1

Hazel Anglin

Two ordered pairs are #(0,0)# and #(5,1)#.

#y=1/5x#

Simplify.

#y=x/5#

This equation is in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation #y=mx+b#.

Determine two points and plot them. Then draw a straight line through the points.

Ordered Pairs

#[x=0,# #y=0]##=##(0,0)#

#[x=5,# #y=1]##=##(5,1)#

graph{y=x/5 [-16.85, 12.9, -6.54, 8.33]}

Julia Adams

The ordered pairs that satisfy the equation ( y = \frac{1}{5}x ) are all the pairs where ( y ) equals ( \frac{1}{5} ) of ( x ). For example:

When ( x = 5 ), ( y = 1 )
When ( x = 10 ), ( y = 2 )
When ( x = -5 ), ( y = -1 ) And so on.

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.
