Question

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

Answer 1

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

hope this helps!

Answer 2

It is given that the point (-6,y) lies on the graph of the equation 5y=2x-4.

Since, the point lies on the graph. It means the value of x coordinate is '-6'.

Substituting the value of x in the given equation.

`5y=2x-4`

`5y=(2 * -6)-4`

`5y= -12-4`

5y = -16

`y= (-16)/(5)`

So, the value of y is
`(-16)/(5)`.
