Transcript text: Question 1, 13.2.1
For the equation, find three ordered pair solutions by completing the table. Then use any two of the ordered pairs to graph the equation.
\[
x-y=6
\]
Complete the table below.
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline $\mathbf{x}$ & $\mathbf{y}$ \\
\hline 6 & 0 \\
\hline 3 & $\square$ \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Solve for y when x = 3
Given the equation \(x - y = 6\), substitute \(x = 3\) into the equation:
\[
3 - y = 6
\]
Solving for \(y\):
\[
y = 3 - 6 = -3
\]
Step 2: Find three ordered pair solutions
We already have two ordered pairs: \((6, 0)\) and \((3, -3)\). Let's find a third ordered pair by choosing another value for \(x\), say \(x = 0\).
Substitute \(x = 0\) into the equation:
\[
0 - y = 6
\]
Solving for \(y\):
\[
y = -6
\]
Thus, the third ordered pair is \((0, -6)\).
Final Answer
The three ordered pair solutions are \((6, 0)\), \((3, -3)\), and \((0, -6)\).
