Question 1096058: the question says, Solve for y. Then find the values of y that correspond to the given values of x for the linear function.
Problem: 12x + 3y = 15 for x = -1, 0, 1
I made a function table and got y= 5.4, 3, and 0.6
My answer wasn't an option in the given answers column

I plugged these numbers into the equation and the equation ended up being true I guess I need help understanding the question

So look for the right options?

3y=-12x%2B15
y=-4x%2B5-------------y is now SOLVED.

What are the GIVEN values of x that you are told to use? system%28-1%2Cand%2C0%2Cand%2C1%29?
Create the table and evaluate y for each of the x and look for the needed choices. 
x          y             ordered pair
-1      -4(-1)+5=9       (-1,9)
0       -4*0+5=5         (0,5)
1       -4*1+5=1         (1,1)

You need to try again. FYI, none of the answers are decimals, and zero for y is not a solution either.

AS I said before, try again! You might just get the right answers then. Imagine how you'll feel when you do?
