Question

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

Answer 1

Sooo confusing! My textbook isnt helping me at all =(

Answer 2

...and then it goes on to ask

For the function rule y = -2x - 3, provide the x-y coordinates of the y-intercept and the x-intercept.

Answer 3

Ah. It expects you to either model the graph by coming out with a table, like this:
or calculate values when y=0 or x=0.

Answer 4

we do not do a table

Answer 5

(-1, -1)
(0, -3)
(1, -5)

Answer 6

draw the graph then?

Answer 7

Now I just need the x-y coordinates of the y-intercept and the x-intercept.

Answer 8

but I dont get that idea at all

Answer 9

the intercept of the y-axis is when x=0.
