What is the value of the function y=1/8x−13 when x=−4 ?(1 point) Responses −12.5 negative 12.5 −15 negative 15 −13.5 negative 13.5 −16

Answer 1

Let's solve for y given y = (1/8)x - 13 and x = -4.

y = (1/8)(-4) - 13

First, we multiply 1/8 by -4:

y = -4/8 - 13

Now simplify -4/8:

y = -0.5 - 13

Next, subtract 13 from -0.5:

y = -13.5

Thus, the value of the function y when x = -4 is y = -13.5.
