Question

If (-1, y) lies on the graph of y = 3x+1, then y =

Answer 1

Plug in -1 for 'x' and solve.

Answer 2

\(\sf y = 3(-1) + 1\)

Can you simplify that?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Okay, tell me what you get.

Answer 5

-3

Answer 6

Not quite, don't forget to add the 1.

Answer 7

This is for future reference:
To remember how to do this problem, remember that to find an x-coordinate, plug in the y-value. To find the y-coordinate, plug in the x-value. If no value is given, plug in 0. This will ALWAYS work.

Answer 8

then is it -4

Answer 9

No.. -3 + 1 isn't -4.

Answer 10

-2

Answer 11

Correct.

Answer 12
