Question

What is the missing value in the table?
-12
8
11
-14

Answer 1

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know -2 is the x-value for the missing value, we can substitute -2 into the rule equation.

y = -5 (-2) - 2

We can then multiply -5 and -2. We know a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive, so -5 * -2 = 10. Now, we subtract the last of the equation.

y = 10 - 2

y = 10 - 2 = 8

y = 8
