Question

mathmale · Answer

Note that (3,y) is a point.  Its x-coordinate is 3; its y-coordinate is unspecified and is represented by y.  Our job is to find the value of y, knowing that this point (3,y) lives on the graph of y=-2x.  If a given point lies on this graph, then y is related bo x by y=-2x.

Substitute 3 for x and calculate y.
