Question 137101: solve the equation and complete the table. this was a test problem, I didn't
understand how to complete this table or any other table as far as that goes....please help....
note: please tell me how to complete these tables, is their a formula to make this easier to do. HERE'S THE EQUATION; y=-6x-4 x and y table
Answer by MORUPHOSUOLALE(24)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First of all u need to pick any value of x (ranges) that u wants the corresponding values of y.The value of y is the outcome of the equation if u plug in the corresponding value of x.
As an example-If we say the value of x ranges from -2 to 3 (this means -2,-1,0,1,2,3) will be on the table as the value of x. Simultaneously we have to find the corresponding value of y by plugging this value of x in the equation given.
When I compute this.This is what I got(the below table)
x -2 -1 0 1 2 3
Y=(-6x-4) 8 2 -4 -10 -16 -22
How do we get these values.
For x values- remeber u have to pick any values that u intended to use depends on what u are doing. If u are constructing a graph your the range of x might be given in the question if not u have to pick x ranges by yourself.
In the above cases we picked x = -2 to 3 (for our computational purpose)
For Y values- all u need to do is to substitute the values of x in the equation given to get the coressponding values of y.
examples as in our computations above.
When x= -2
y= -6x-4
so substitute -2 for x in the equation.
we get = y= -6(-2) - 4
y= 12 -4
y= 8
Similarly, when x = -1
y = -6x - 4
= -6(-1)-4
= 6 -4
= 2
If u put all the x values you will get the corresponding values of y.
These are what u are looking for in your question.
I hope this helps.
