Find the missing coordinate to complete the ordered pair.
-$5 x + y = - 17 \quad ( \quad , 8 )$
A) $( - 5 , - 8 )$
B) $( - 5,8 )$
C) $( 5,8 )$
D) $( 8,8 )$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the missing x-coordinate when y = 8, substitute 8 for y in the equation $5x + y = -17$, resulting in $5x + 8 = -17$. Solving for x gives $5x = -25$, so $x = -5$. Therefore, the complete ordered pair is $(-5, 8)$.
