If the ordered pairs (p, -1) and (5, q) belong to {(x, y): y = 2x-3}, find the values of p and q.
Given -
{(x, y): y = 2x-3)}
To find -
Solution -
{(x, y): y = 2x - 3}
Putting,
x = p and y = -1
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\implies\:\:[/tex] {(p, -1): - 1 = 2p - 3}
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\implies\:\:[/tex] -1 + 3 = 2p
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\implies\:\:[/tex] {2 = 2p}
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\implies{\tt{\:\:p=\frac{\cancel{2}}{\cancel{2}}}}[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\implies{\boxed{\tt{\:\:p=1}}}[/tex]
{(x, y): y = 2x -3}
Putting,
x = 5 and y = q
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\implies\:\:[/tex] {(5, q): q = 2(5) - 3}
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\implies\:\:[/tex] q = 10 - 3
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\implies{\boxed{\tt{\:\:q=7}}}[/tex]
[tex]\therefore\bf{p=1\:and\:q=7}[/tex]
