You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you have y=-2 then you simply replace y with -2 and evaluate x. So for instance \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=5x-4\" let y=-2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-2%29=5x-4\" plug in y=-2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2=5x\" Add 4 to both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2%2F5\" So if y=-2, then \"x=2%2F5\" We do the same for every y that is in the table\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We're basically going backwards. Instead of finding y with the given x values, we find x with the give y values. So to do this efficiently, we need to solve for x:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=5x-4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B4=5x\" Add 4 to both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%28y%2B4%29%2F5\" Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now if we evaluate each y we get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%28%28-2%29%2B4%29%2F5\" plug in y=-2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%282%29%2F5\" So if y=-2, x=2/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%28%28-1%29%2B4%29%2F5\" plug in y=-1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%283%29%2F5\" So if y=-1, x=3/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%28%280%29%2B4%29%2F5\" plug in y=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=4%2F5\" So if y=0, x=4/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%281%2B4%29%2F5\" plug in y=1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=5%2F5=1\" So if y=1, x=1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%282%2B4%29%2F5\" plug in y=2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=6%2F5\" So if y=2, x=6/5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So here's the table filled out:
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "x	y\r\n" );
document.write( "2/5  |	-2\r\n" );

document.write( "1    |	1\r\n" );
document.write( "6/5  |	2\r\n" );
