Given:
the linear equation y=-x-4
find:
the y-coordinates of the points (-1, ), (2, ), and (-3, )
the coordinates of the point are (x,y); so, above you are given coordinates x and you need to plug them in given linear equation y+=+-x+%96+4 to find the coordinates y

for the point (-1, ), x is equal to -1

y=-%28-1%29-4

y=1-4

y=-3....so, you have the point (-1,-3 )


for the point (2, ), x is equal to 2

y=-%282%29-4

y=-2-4

y=-6....so, you have the point (-1,-6 )


for the point (-3, ), x is equal to -3

y=-%28-3%29-4

y=3-4
y=-1....so, you have the point (-1,-1 )
