Question

I need to graph this equation f(x)=x-1 The x-values are: -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Answer 1

Well, at least solve it. I can graph it just fine.

Answer 2

solve for what x?

Answer 3

x=y+1

Answer 4

The equation says that y is 1 less than x. So if x = 4, y = 3, if x = 5, y = 4, if x = -2, y = -3 and so on. Get some ordered pairs, plot them and draw the line.

Answer 5

It's supposed to be like this: say I'm going to do the first x-value (which is -2) so you'd put f(-2). I'm supposed to solve using that x-value for the y to create the ordered pair.

Answer 6

f(-2)=-3 you get (-2,-3)
f(-1)=-2 you get (-1, -2)
f(x) is the same thing as y

Answer 7

f(0)=-1 do you see the pattern?
(0,-1)
(1,0)
(2, 1)

Answer 8

Yeah, thanks!
