Given the linear equation y=-3/5x-4, find the y-coordinates of the points (-5, ), (0, ), and (5, ). Please show all of your work. Plot those points and graph the linear equation.

Answer 1

We don't provide graphs.
To get the missing "y" value for each point, use the corresponding x value (which is provided) and plug it into the equation y = (-3/5)x - 4

For example, when x = -5,
y = (-3/5)*(-5) -4 = 3 -4 = -1
so the first point is (-5,-1)

Now, you do the other two points and plot the graph. The slope of the line should be -3/5.
