for the equation 9x+4y-4=0, find the missinf coordinate of the ordered pair so that it is a solution (-1,?)
+23247 In the point (-1, ?), -1 is an x-value and we need to find the y-value.
9x + 4y - 4 = 0
Putting in the x-value of -1, we get:
9(-1) + 4y - 4 = 0
Simplifying:
-9 + 4y - 4 = 0
Combining the -9 and the -4:
4y - 13 = 0
Getting rid of the -13 by adding 13 to both sides:
4y - 13 + 13 = 0 + 13
4y = 13
Dividing both sides by 4:
y = 13/4
Checking: Is 9(-1) +4(13/4) -4 really zero? Yes!
