Q. Express the relation below as a set of ordered pairs.Fill in the blank.(_,2)(2,17)(16,4)
Identify Pattern: To find the missing x-value that corresponds to y=2, we need to look for a pattern in the given ordered pairs. The second ordered pair (2,17) suggests that when x is 2, y is 17.
Analyze Ordered Pairs: Looking at the third ordered pair (16,4), we can see that when x is 16, y is 4.
Calculate Slope: We need to find a relationship between x and y. Let's assume the relationship is linear and try to find the slope using the given points (2,17) and (16,4). The slope (m) is calculated by the change in y divided by the change in x, so m=(4−17)/(16−2).
Find Slope: Calculating the slope, m=(4−17)/(16−2)=−13/14.
Find Y-Intercept: Now we have the slope, we can use one of the points to find the y-interceptb using the equation y=mx+b. Let's use the point (2,17). Plugging in the values, we get 17=14−13⋅2+b.
Solve for Y-Intercept: Solving for b, we get b=17−(−1413)⋅2=17+713=17+1.857…
Correct Y-Intercept: Adding 17 and 1.857 gives us b=18.857… However, this should be a simple fraction, not a decimal. Let's correct this. We have b=17+713=17+176=1876.
