y=-1%2F2x%2B5 to find the y- coordinates of the point (-6,) substitute into the equation x=-6
y=-%281%2F2%29%2A%28-6%29%2B5=3%2B5=8
The point (-6, 8)
.
the point (-2, ) substitute x=-2
y=-%281%2F2%29%2A%28-2%29%2B5=1%2B5=6
The point (-2, 6)
.
the point (8, ) substitute x=8
y=-%281%2F2%29%2A8%2B5=-4%2B5=1
The point (8, 1)
