The table shows ordered pairs of the function y = 16 + 0.5x

Which ordered pair could be the missing values represented by (x, y)?

A(0, 18)
B(5, 19.5)
C(8, 20)
D(10, 21.5)

Verified Answer :

the answer is C (8,20)

Answer:

c) (8, 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

We must plug in the given value of x in the function and confirm that the value of y that is returned to us is the correct one.

a) (0, 18)

\(x=0,y=18\)

\(y = 16 + 0.5(0)=16+0=16\)

the values for y do not match, so it is not a solution.

b) (5, 19.5)

\(x=5,y=19.5\)

\(y = 16 + 0.5(5)=16+2.5=18.5\)

again, the values for y do not match so it is not a solution.

c) (8, 20)

\(x=8,y=20\)

\(y = 16 + 0.5(8)=16+4=20\)

For this option, the values of y do match, so (8, 20) are the missing values.
