F(x) = x + 6 , find the ordered pair when x = -2.

(-2,4)

(2,-4)

(-2,-4)

(2,4)

Answer 1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:
`\textsf{Option A, (-2, 4)}`

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:
`\textsf{f(x) = x + 6}`

Find:
`\textsf{f(-2)}`

Solution: We need to plug in the value -2 into every variable x that we have in the expression and simplify to get the solution.

Plug in the values

• 
  `\textsf{f(x) = x + 6}`

• 
  `\textsf{f(-2) = -2 + 6}`

Simplify

• 
  `\textsf{f(-2) = -2 + 6}`

• 
  `\textsf{f(-2) = 4}`

Therefore, the ordered pair that would match would have a x-coordinate of -2 and a y-coordinate of 4 producing (-2, 4) which matches option A.
