Question

y=-x-7 (complete the order pairs) (-5,?) (-2,?) please help

Answer 1

Ordered pairs are of the form (x,y)

x always comes first before y

When they say (-5, ?) they mean that x = -5 and y is unknown

Answer 2

what you do is replace every x with -5 and simplify to find y


y = -x-7
y = -1*x-7
y = -1*(x)-7
y = -1*(-5)-7 ... replace every x with -5
y = 5-7
y = -2


So when x = -5, the value of y is y = -2

Answer 3

so (-5, ?) becomes (-5, -2)

Answer 4

ohhhhhhhh

Answer 5

if x = -2, then what must y be?

Answer 6

some reason I got -7,1

Answer 7

how did you get that?

Answer 8

because I have no idea how to really do it and I never replaced anything

Answer 9

I see

Answer 10
