ABC\displaystyle \triangle{A}{B}{C}  has coordinates A(2,4)\displaystyle {A}{\left(-{2},-{4}\right)}  , B(2,1)\displaystyle {B}{\left(-{2},{1}\right)} , and  C(3,1)\displaystyle {C}{\left({3},{1}\right)}  and is shown below.  

The ordered pair (8,y)\displaystyle {\left({8},{y}\right)}  is on line AC\displaystyle {A}{C} .  Create a similar triangle to the one plotted to help you find the value of y\displaystyle {y} .   Enter the value of y\displaystyle {y} for this ordered pair.
