Is (0, 0) a solution to y = -2x?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If you plug in x = 0 and y = 0, will you get a true equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No^

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

are you sure?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If x = 0 and y = 0, then y = -2x 0 = -2(0) which becomes what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1) If you substitute x=0 in the equation you will y=-2(0)=0 and hence 0,0 would be a solution to this equation. 2)If you were to plot this function (which you can do at http://fooplot.com/) you would observe that the straight line passes through the origin.
