$(\frac{1}{2}, 7)$ $(1/2, 7)$

Explanation:

Plug in your given value to the $x$ $x$ or $y$ $y$ variable in the equation accordingly.

We are given $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ as the x value of a pint on the lin $y = 2 x + 6$ $y=2x+6$ . So, we can plug in $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ into $x$ $x$ .

$y = 2 (\frac{1}{2}) + 6$ $y = 2(1/2)+6$

$y = 1 + 6$ $y= 1 + 6$

$y = 7$ $y = 7$

We determined that $y$ $y$ is $7$ $7$ . In other words, when $x$ $x$ equals $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ , $y$ $y$ equals $7$ $7$ . So if we were to plot this point and graph the equation, the point would fall on the line of the equation. Thus, it is a solution.

Whenever you are asked to complete an ordered pair with an equation, plug in your given $x$ $x$ or $y$ $y$ value into the equation. Whatever comes out is the value you're looking for.
