Which table contains ordered pairs that lie on the graph of the equation -2x + 4y = 16?

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out which pairs lie on -2x+4y = 16, we can plug the x and y values into the equation to see if they work. We need all pairs of x and y values in a table to work for the answer to be correct

A)

x=-4, y=2

-2x+4y = -2 * (-4) + 4 * (2) = 8 + 8 = 16. This works. Note that two negatives multiplied together make a positive, and 4*2 = 8

x=0, y=8

-2x + 4y = -2 * (0) + 4 * (8) = 0 + 32 = 32. This does not work, as 32 is not 16. Note that anything multiplied by 0 is 0

B)

x=8, y=0

-2x+4y = -2 * (8) + 4 * (0) = -16. This is not equal to 16. Note that a negative multiplied by a positive is still a negative

x=2, y=3

-2x + 4y = -2 * (2) + 4 * (3) = -4 + 12 = 8. This is not equal to 16.

C)

x=0, y=4

-2x + 4y = -2 * (0) + 4 * (4) = 0 + 16 = 16. This works

x=4, y=6

-2x + 4y = (-2)* (4) + 4 * (6) = -8 + 24 = 16. This works. As both pairs of values in the table works, this is the correct answer. Nevertheless, we can check D to make sure.

D)

x=-2, y=5

-2x+4y = -2 * (-2) + 4 * (5) = 4 + 20 = 24. This is not 16

x=-8, y=0

-2x+4y = -2 * (-8) + 4 *  (0) = 16. This works, but the other pair does not work, so D is incorrect
