Answer

(0,-2) (2,-0.5) (-4,-5)

Work Step by Step

First solve for y, then substitute each given value for x to complete the ordered pairs. $3x-4y=8$ $3x-4y-3x=8-3x\longrightarrow$ subtract 3x from each side $-4y=8-3x$ $-4y\div-4=(8-3x)\div-4\longrightarrow$ divide each side by -4 $y=-2+0.75x$ $y=-2+0.75(0)=-2+0=-2$ $y=-2+0.75(2)=-2+1.5=-0.5$ $y=-2+0.75(-4)=-2-3=-5$
