Question

When x=-1 what is the value of y?

Answer 1

Explanation:

All we have to do is find the point on the line where x = -1. If we know this, we can see how high the point is (i.e., find it's y-value). Then, we would know the value of y.

If we draw a vertical line from where x equals -1, we see that it crosses the line at point (-1, 3). This means that we can draw a line from the point to the number -1 on the x-axis and another line from the point to the number 3 on the y-axis.

Hence, the y-value when x=-1 would be 3.

Answer 2

Answer: y=3

Explanation:

The x-axis is on the horizontal line, and the y-axis is on the vertical line. On the horizontal line at -1, just go up until you find where y is located.

By doing this, you can find that y=3.
