Question

Given the linear equation y = -6x – 2, find the y-coordinates of the points (-1, ), (-2, ), and (1, ). Please show all of your work. Plot these points and graph the linear equation

Answer 1

i suck at this stuff

Answer 2

So for the first one you're given -1 for your x, just plug that in to the formula like this:

y=(-6*-1)-2 and you get y=4, so the coordinate is (-1,4)

No one's born knowing how to do this kind of stuff, but anyone can learn if they decide they want to. =)

Answer 3

ok how do i get the other two

Answer 4

Just repeat what I showed you, but with the other x-coordinates.

Answer 5

so would it be like this x=(-6x 1)

Answer 6

they give you
y = -6x – 2

that is short hand for y is -6 times x , then subtract 2
if they tell you x= -1 do this
y = (-6*-1) -2
then do the arithmetic

Answer 7

y=(-6*-2)-2

Answer 8

yes. now do -6 * -2 = ?

Answer 9

12

Answer 10

so y= 12-2
finish it

Answer 11

12-2=10

Answer 12

yes so y=10
that is the 2nd answer

last one, replace x with 1

Answer 13

Coordinate is(-2,10)

Answer 14

Y=(-6*-1)-2
-6*-1=6
6-2=4
Coordinate is (-1,4)
Y=(-6*-2)-2
-6*-2=12
12-2=10
Coordinate is(-2,10)
-6*1=-6
-6-2=-8
Coordinate is (1,-8)

Answer 15

rght

Answer 16

yes looks good.

Answer 17

thank you

Answer 18

they still want you to plot the points. can you do that?

Answer 19

ya i'm good with that

Answer 20

you know it's right if all 3 points are on the same line.

Answer 21

ya
