( − 10 , ) Enter your answer as an integer or a reduced fraction.

Solution

Let's first solve part A by rewriting the equation 9x10y=3-9x - 10y = -3 in the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b.

Part A:

Starting with the given equation: 9x10y=3-9x - 10y = -3

  1. Isolate yy on one side: 10y=9x3-10y = 9x - 3

  2. Divide both sides by 10-10 to solve for yy: y=9x310y = \frac{9x - 3}{-10}

  3. Simplify the equation: y=910x+310y = -\frac{9}{10}x + \frac{3}{10}

Thus, the equation in slope-intercept form is: y=910x+310y = -\frac{9}{10}x + \frac{3}{10}

In this form, m=910m = -\frac{9}{10} (the slope) and b=310b = \frac{3}{10} (the y-intercept).

Part B:

Now, use the equation from part A to find the yy-coordinate when x=10x = -10.

Substitute x=10x = -10 into the equation: y=910(10)+310y = -\frac{9}{10}(-10) + \frac{3}{10}

Simplify: y=9010+310=9+310=9+0.3=9.3y = \frac{90}{10} + \frac{3}{10} = 9 + \frac{3}{10} = 9 + 0.3 = 9.3

So, the ordered pair is: (10,9.3)(-10, 9.3)

If you prefer the fraction form, 9.3=93109.3 = \frac{93}{10}, so the ordered pair is (10,9310)(-10, \frac{93}{10}).

Summary:

A) The equation is: y=910x+310y = -\frac{9}{10}x + \frac{3}{10} with m=910m = -\frac{9}{10} and b=310b = \frac{3}{10}.

B) The ordered pair when x=10x = -10 is: (10,9.3) or (10,9310)(-10, 9.3) \text{ or } (-10, \frac{93}{10})
