plug in x = -8 in the equation and find out the value of y. post your answer and steps here,.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=-3/4(-8)-3
y=(-3/4)(-8/1)-3
am i on the right page now so far
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait. is the equation
y = 3/4x -3
or
y = - 3/4x -3
?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its -3/4 sorry
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, then you are on the right page so far.
what is the value of y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
how did you get that? show me the steps please.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i found the common denominator?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y = (\frac{-3}{4} \times -8 ) - 3\]

y = (24/4) - 3
y = 6-3 = 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3 times -8 = 24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i tought u put -8 for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I did put x = -8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y = \frac{3}{4}x-3\]

correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
with a negative sign on 3/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry
\[y = \frac{-3}{4}x -3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, then substitute x = -8
\[y = (\frac{-3}{4} \times -8 ) - 3 \rightarrow y = \frac{24}{4}-3 \rightarrow y = 6-3 = 3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok give me one second trying to work it on my own

3/4 x means three-fourths of x.
three fourths of 8 is 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the second problem is y= -6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i worked it the same wasy you did the other one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, it is 0. how did you get -6 for x = -4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whats the last one suppose to be
