Question

the table shows ordered pairs of the function \\(y = 16 + 0.5x\\).

which ordered pair could be the missing values represented by \\((x, y)\\)?

(0, 18)
(5, 19.5)
(8, 20)
(10, 21.5)

Explanation:

Define the given function and options

$$ y = 16 + 0.5x $$

$$ \text{Options: } (0, 18), (5, 19.5), (8, 20), (10, 21.5) $$

Test each option using the function equation

Identify the correct ordered pair

$$ (x, y) = (8, 20) $$

Answer:

• (A) \((0, 18)\)
• (B) \((5, 19.5)\)
• (C) \((8, 20)\) (Correct answer)
• (D) \((10, 21.5)\)
