Find Three Ordered Pair Solutions y=-2x-11

$y = - 2 x - 11$

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 2 \cdot 0 - 11$

Simplify $- 2 \cdot 0 - 11$ .

Multiply $- 2$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 - 11$

Subtract $11$ from $0$ .

$y = - 11$

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

$(0, - 11)$

Step 3

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

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 2 \cdot 1 - 11$

Simplify $- 2 \cdot 1 - 11$ .

Multiply $- 2$ by $1$ .

$y = - 2 - 11$

Subtract $11$ from $- 2$ .

$y = - 13$

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

$(1, - 13)$

Step 4

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

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 2 \cdot 2 - 11$

Simplify $- 2 \cdot 2 - 11$ .

Multiply $- 2$ by $2$ .

$y = - 4 - 11$

Subtract $11$ from $- 4$ .

$y = - 15$

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

$(2, - 15)$

Step 5

These are three possible solutions to the equation.

$(0, - 11), (1, - 13), (2, - 15)$
