Question

A student used the equation below to create a table.

y = -3x - 5
The student used -2 as one of the values for the input. Which ordered pair could be taken from the table?
O(-11, -2)
06-2, -11)
O(-2, 1)
O (1.-2)

Answer 1

(-2, 1)

Explanation:

Putting in -2 as an input basically means plugging in -2 in the place of x

So it would result in this

y = -3(-2) - 5

Remember that multiplying a negative number by another negative number results in a positive number

y = 6 - 5

y = 1

So we have

x = -2

y = -1

Making the answer (-2, 1)
