Question

Model the function rule y = -2x - 3 with a table of values

Answer 1

Plug in x = 0

y = -2x - 3

y = -2(0) - 3

y = 0 - 3

y = -3

So when x = 0, y is y = -3

Answer 2

Now plug in x = 1

y = -2x - 3

y = -2(1) - 3

y = -2 - 3

y = -5

So when x = 1, y is y = -5

Answer 3

Plug in x = 2

y = -2x - 3

y = -2(2) - 3

y = -4 - 3

y = -7

So when x = 2, y is y = -7

Etc etc.

You can keep going to make the table as big as you want. You only need 2 points, but 3 is also a good number to have

This gives us the table

x | y
--------
0 | -3
1 | -5
2 | -7

Answer 4

So, all of this is the answer @jim_thompson5910

Answer 5

it's the steps and the answer

Answer 6

The table is the final answer, but everything else is a lead up to it

Answer 7

if you need a bigger table, then you would get

x | y
--------
0 | -3
1 | -5
2 | -7
3 | -9
4 | -11
5 | -13

Answer 8

A bigger tables isnt necessary is it @jim_thompson5910

Answer 9

it depends on what your teacher/book is looking for, but technically, you can get away with having 2 rows since you need at least 2 points

Answer 10

I would do 3 just because I've seen some teachers use 3

Answer 11
