To find values for x and y that satisfy the equation y = x - 6, we can choose any value for x and then calculate the corresponding value for y using the equation.
Let's choose x = 10:
y = 10 - 6
y = 4
Therefore, when x = 10, y = 4 is a valid solution for the equation y = x - 6.
Another possible solution could be:
x = -4:
y = -4 - 6
y = -10
Hence, when x = -4, y = -10 is also a valid solution for the equation y = x - 6.
These are just two examples of values for x and y that satisfy the equation, but there are infinitely many possible solutions.
For the equation, y=x−6
