Problem

Find the missing coordinate to complete the ordered-pair solution to the given linear equation. \[ 4 x-5 y=17 \] (a) $(-2$, (b) $(, 3)$ (a) The ordered-pair solution is $(-2, \square)$.

Solution

Step 1 :Substitute x = -2 into the equation 4x - 5y = 17 to find the missing y-coordinate.

Step 2 :The equation becomes -8 - 5y = 17.

Step 3 :Solving for y, we get y = -5.

Step 4 :\(\boxed{(-2, -5)}\) is the ordered-pair solution to the given linear equation.
