Answer:

(0, 7/3), (1, 2/3), (2, -1).

Explanation:

Input 3 x coordinates into the equation and find the y. 0, 1, and 2 will do.

-5x - 3y = -7

Substitute variable.

-5(0) - 3y = -7

Remove the term multiplied by 0.

-3y = -7

Divide by -3.

y = -7/-3

-a/-b = a/b.

y = 7/3

This makes the coordinate (0, 7/3)

-5x - 3y = -7

Substitute variable.

-5(1) - 3y = -7

Multiply.

-5 - 3y = -7

Add 5 to both sides.

-3y = -2

Divide by -3.

y = -2/-3

-a/-b = a/b.

y = 2/3.

This makes the coordinate (1, 2/3)

-5x - 3y = -7

Substitute variable.

-5(2) - 3y = -7

Multiply.

-10 - 3y = -7

Add 10 to both sides.

-3y = 3

Divide by -3.

y = 3/-3

-a/a = -1.

y = -1.

This makes the coordinate (2, -1).
