Find Three Ordered Pair Solutions y=-5x-6

$y = - 5 x - 6$

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.

$y = - 5 \cdot 0 - 6$

Simplify $- 5 \cdot 0 - 6$ .

Multiply $- 5$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 - 6$

Subtract $6$ from $0$ .

$y = - 6$

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

$(0, - 6)$

Step 3

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

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 5 \cdot 1 - 6$

Simplify $- 5 \cdot 1 - 6$ .

Multiply $- 5$ by $1$ .

$y = - 5 - 6$

Subtract $6$ from $- 5$ .

$y = - 11$

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

$(1, - 11)$

Step 4

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

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 5 \cdot 2 - 6$

Simplify $- 5 \cdot 2 - 6$ .

Multiply $- 5$ by $2$ .

$y = - 10 - 6$

Subtract $6$ from $- 10$ .

$y = - 16$

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

$(2, - 16)$

Step 5

These are three possible solutions to the equation.

$(0, - 6), (1, - 11), (2, - 16)$
