Find Three Ordered Pair Solutions y=-7x-3

$y = - 7 x - 3$

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.

$y = - 7 \cdot 0 - 3$

Simplify $- 7 \cdot 0 - 3$ .

Multiply $- 7$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 - 3$

Subtract $3$ from $0$ .

$y = - 3$

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

$(0, - 3)$

Step 3

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

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 7 \cdot 1 - 3$

Simplify $- 7 \cdot 1 - 3$ .

Multiply $- 7$ by $1$ .

$y = - 7 - 3$

Subtract $3$ from $- 7$ .

$y = - 10$

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

$(1, - 10)$

Step 4

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

Remove parentheses.

$y = - 7 \cdot 2 - 3$

Simplify $- 7 \cdot 2 - 3$ .

Multiply $- 7$ by $2$ .

$y = - 14 - 3$

Subtract $3$ from $- 14$ .

$y = - 17$

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

$(2, - 17)$

Step 5

These are three possible solutions to the equation.

$(0, - 3), (1, - 10), (2, - 17)$
