y = 5 -4x
(5, ____) (1, ____) (-1, ____)
5, 1, and -1 represent x values. To find out their corresponding y values, simply plug in the value for x into the equation and solve for y.

1. Start with y+=+5+-4x.
Plug in 5 y=5-4%285%29.
Simplify y=5-20.
Solve y=-15. So when x=5, y=-15. (5,-15)


2. Start with y+=+5+-4x.
Plug in 1 y=5-4%281%29
Simplify y=5-4
Solve y=1. So when x=1, y=1. (1,1)


3. Start with y+=+5+-4x.
Plug in -1 y=5-4%28-1%29
Simplify y=5--20
Solve y=25. So when x=-1, y=25. (-1,25)


Solutions: (5,-15) (1,1) (-1,25)
