Find Three Ordered Pair Solutions y=-1/2x-1/2

$y = - \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{2}$

Step 1

Combine $x$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$y = - \frac{x}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$

Step 2

Choose any value for $x$ that is in the domain to plug into the equation.

Step 3

Choose $0$ to substitute in for $x$ to find the ordered pair.

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{0}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$

Simplify $- \frac{0}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$ .

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$y = \frac{0 - 1}{2}$

Subtract $1$ from $0$ .

$y = \frac{- 1}{2}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{1}{2}$

Use the $x$ and $y$ values to form the ordered pair.

$(0, - \frac{1}{2})$

Step 4

Choose $1$ to substitute in for $x$ to find the ordered pair.

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$

Simplify $- \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$ .

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$y = \frac{- 1 - 1}{2}$

Simplify the expression.

Subtract $1$ from $- 1$ .

$y = \frac{- 2}{2}$

Divide $- 2$ by $2$ .

$y = - 1$

Use the $x$ and $y$ values to form the ordered pair.

$(1, - 1)$

Step 5

Choose $2$ to substitute in for $x$ to find the ordered pair.

Remove parentheses.

$y = - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$

Simplify $- \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$ .

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$y = \frac{- 2 - 1}{2}$

Simplify the expression.

Subtract $1$ from $- 2$ .

$y = \frac{- 3}{2}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

Use the $x$ and $y$ values to form the ordered pair.

$(2, - \frac{3}{2})$

Step 6

These are three possible solutions to the equation.

$(0, - \frac{1}{2}), (1, - 1), (2, - \frac{3}{2})$

Step 7
