the table shows ordered pairs of the function y = 16 + 0.5x. which ordered pair could be the missing values represented by (x, y)?

the table shows ordered pairs of the function y = 16 + 0.5x. which ordered pair could be the missing values represented by (x, y)?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x - value into function

For each option, substitute the x - value into the function $y = 16+0.5x$. For option A with $x = 10$, $y=16 + 0.5\times10=16 + 5=21\neq21.5$. For option B with $x = 8$, $y=16+0.5\times8=16 + 4=20$. For option C with $x = 0$, $y=16+0.5\times0=16\neq18$. For option D with $x = 5$, $y=16+0.5\times5=16 + 2.5=18.5\neq19.5$.

Answer:

B. $(8, 20)$
