Determine which three out of the six points shown below are a solution to the equation 3x+y=-6. Plot the three points that are in the solution set, draw a line through the three points and then answer the questions below

(I've done this part, the answers are (0,-6) (-1,-3) (-5,9)

Come up with two additional solutions now that you have graphed the line. justify your solution numerically. at least one of your points must include decimals or fractions


New solution #1: (__ , __) is a solution because when you plug it into the original __+__=-6 the equation simplifies to __ = -6


New solution #2: (__ , __) is a solution because when you plug it into the original __+__=-6 the equation simplifies to __ = -6

Answer:

Explanation:

New solution #1: (-3 , -9) is a solution because when you plug it into the original 3x+y=-6 the equation simplifies to 3*-3+-9=-6.

New solution #2: (1.5 , -3.5) is a solution because when you plug it into the original 3x+y=-6 the equation simplifies to 3*1.5+-3.5=-6.
