Answer 1

To find the output of the function \( y = -2x + 7 \) when \( x = 0.6 \), we can substitute \( x \) with 0.6:

\[ y = -2(0.6) + 7 \]

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. Multiply \(-2\) by \(0.6\): \[ -2 \times 0.6 = -1.2 \]

2. Add \(7\) to \(-1.2\): \[ -1.2 + 7 = 5.8 \]

So, the output when \( x = 0.6 \) is \( y = 5.8 \).

The correct response is 5.8.
