MATHS - Algebra - Table of Ordered Pairs

This video tutorial explains how to use substitution in equations to generate a table of ordered pairs, which are essential for solving equations and plotting graphs. It covers the relationship between X and Y variables, emphasizing the importance of writing X before Y. The video also discusses independent and dependent variables, solving for missing values, and identifying equations that represent table values. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of plotting ordered pairs on a graph, which will be explored in future videos.

What is the relationship between X and Y in an ordered pair?

• Y is always greater than X

• Y is independent of X

• Y depends on the value of X

• X and Y are always equal

How should ordered pairs be written?

• Y, X

• X, Y

• X; Y

• Y; X

Which variable is considered independent?

• X

• Both X and Y

• Neither X nor Y

• Y

What should you do if given a mixture of X and Y values?

• Ignore the Y values

• Only use the X values

• Guess the missing values

• Complete the table of ordered pairs

What is the next step after generating ordered pairs?

• Solve for Y

• Plot them on a graph

• Find the sum of X and Y

• Multiply X and Y
