Question

PART A. The set of ordered pairs below represents a linear function. {(-2, -3), (0, -2), (2, -1), (x, y)}What is one other pair of coordinates that could be the missing ordered pair, (x, y), in this set? x=____y=____PART B. Show your work or explain how you got your answers in Part A.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4, y=0

Explanation:

Part A

In this set, one other pair of coordinates that could be the missing ordered pair, (x, y), is:

$\begin{gathered} (4,0) \\ x=4 \\ y=0 \end{gathered}$

Part B

Observe that:

• The x-value increases by 2.

,

• The y-value increases by 1.

Therefore, the next pair will be:

$(2+2,-1+1)=(4,0)$
