Solution

To determine which ordered pairs are solutions to the equation y=43x+23y = -\frac{4}{3}x + \frac{2}{3}, we need to plug each pair into the equation and check if they satisfy it.

Given pairs:

  1. (6,1)(6, -1)
  2. (2,2)(2, -2)
  3. (4,5)(4, 5)
  4. (1,2)(-1, 2)
  5. (4,6)(-4, 6)
  6. (5,6)(5, -6)

Let's evaluate each pair:

  1. For (6,1)(6, -1): y=43(6)+23=8+23=1y = -\frac{4}{3}(6) + \frac{2}{3} = -8 + \frac{2}{3} = -1 The pair (6,1)(6, -1) satisfies the equation.

  2. For (2,2)(2, -2): y=43(2)+23=83+23=2y = -\frac{4}{3}(2) + \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{8}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = -2 The pair (2,2)(2, -2) satisfies the equation.

  3. For (4,5)(4, 5): y=43(4)+23=163+23=1435y = -\frac{4}{3}(4) + \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{16}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{14}{3} \neq 5 The pair (4,5)(4, 5) does not satisfy the equation.

  4. For (1,2)(-1, 2): y=43(1)+23=43+23=2y = -\frac{4}{3}(-1) + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = 2 The pair (1,2)(-1, 2) satisfies the equation.

  5. For (4,6)(-4, 6): y=43(4)+23=163+23=183=6y = -\frac{4}{3}(-4) + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{16}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{18}{3} = 6 The pair (4,6)(-4, 6) satisfies the equation.

  6. For (5,6)(5, -6): y=43(5)+23=203+23=183=6y = -\frac{4}{3}(5) + \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{20}{3} + \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{18}{3} = -6 The pair (5,6)(5, -6) satisfies the equation.

Conclusion: The pairs that satisfy the equation are:

  • (6,1)(6, -1)
  • (2,2)(2, -2)
  • (1,2)(-1, 2)
  • (4,6)(-4, 6)
  • (5,6)(5, -6)

Would you like further clarification on any steps?

Here are five related questions you might find useful:

  1. How can we determine if a point lies on the line of any given linear equation?
  2. What does the slope 43-\frac{4}{3} signify in this equation?
  3. How do you find the y-intercept from an equation in slope-intercept form?
  4. Can you explain the process of converting a linear equation to standard form?
  5. How would you determine the x-intercept of this equation?

Tip: In a linear equation y=mx+by = mx + b, the slope mm indicates the steepness and direction of the line, while bb is the y-intercept, where the line crosses the y-axis.
