Question

What is the resulting ordered pair if the value of the independent variable is 5? f(x) = –2x 1 a. (–2, 5) b. (5, –9) c. (5, –11) d. (2, 5)

Answer 1

bbbbbbb

Explanation:

bbbb

Answer 2

The independent variable is the x-value.
Plug 5 into the equation for x;
-2(5) +1 = -9 (5, -9)
-2(5) -1 = -11 (5, -11)

You left out the sign before the 1 in your problem so you'll have to see which one it is.
