Points A and B lie on the graph of the equation y = −4.3x. What are the y-coordinates for each point? Point A: (−3, ) Point B: (5, )

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Point A has the x coordinate of -3. Plug this value into the equation to find y. y = -4.3x y = -4.3*(-3) ... replace x with -3 y = 12.9 So when x = -3, y = 12.9 giving the complete point A(-3, 12.9). I'll let you do point B.

im srry i still do get : (

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where are you stuck?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the whole thing lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you see how I replaced x with -3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

after that, I multiplied -4.3 by -3 to get 12.9

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's what -4.3x means it means "take -4.3 and multiply it with some number x" x in this case is -3

k

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

try point B
