Step-by-step explanation:

This equation represents a line, so there are many points that are solutions to the equation. To fill in this boxes we just have to pick a x-value that's in the domain, replace it into the equation and solve for y. The domain of this function is all real numbers, so any number will work.

Using x = 1:


\begin{gathered} y=8x-32 \\ y=8\cdot1-32 \\ y=8-32 \\ y=-24 \end{gathered}

Answers:

A solution is (-24) = 8( 1 ) - 32
