Question

The point (-6, y) lies on the graph of the equation: 5y=2x−4.

What is the value of y?

A. -1/65

B. −5/16

C. 5/16

D. 16/5

Answer 1

(-6,y) means the x-coordinate is -6

so simply plug in x = -6 to get y

5y=2x−4

Answer 2

the answer is either A or C

Answer 3

plug in x = -6 into the equation and tell me what you get for y

there is only one correct answer.

Answer 4

The answer is B

Answer 5

correct me if i'm wrong

Answer 6

x = -6 means replace "x" with "-6"

then solve for y.

Answer 7

please show the steps of your calculations so I can see where you are making mistakes

Answer 8

y = -2

Answer 9

that is not one of the answer choices

please show all steps of your calculations so I can see where you are going wrong.

Answer 10

no it's not i know that but i just solved it for y and my calculations shows the answer is D

Answer 11

again, please write out the actual steps of your calculations.

Answer 12

I'm not going to judge you, I just want to know where you are making mistakes so I can teach you the right way.

Answer 13

but also

5y=2(-6)-4
5y=-12-4
5y=-16
y=-16/5

Answer 14

good so the answer is y= -16/5

Answer 15

The following graph represents the equation

y = 1/5x + 1/5
