Question

Find three solutions of the equation y = 9x – 4. (1 point) • (–5, –49), (–2, –22), (3, 23) • (–5, –49), (2, –22), (3, 23) • (–5, –49), (–2, 22), (–3, 23) • (5, –49), (–2, 22), (–3, 23)

Answer 1

Hi @farmgirl11, the way I see to proceed is trial and error. Substitute in an x value from your points and see if the result is the correspond y value.

Answer 2

what?

Answer 3

so, you are given:

y = 9x-4

your first point is (-5, -49)

So, in your equation, let x = -5

y = 9(-5) - 4 = -45 - 4 = -49

So, your first point (-5,-49) is a correct point for the function. See?

Answer 4

not really most all of them says (-5,-49)

Answer 5

Right, but you need to test the other points in the set to see if they work. Some of them will fail.

Answer 6

Its B

Answer 7
