Questions: Consider the following function.
t(x)=-5/8 x
Find two points on the graph of this function, other than the origin, that fit within the given [-10,10] by [-10,10] grid. Express each coordinate as an integer or simplified fraction, or round to four decimal places as necessary.
Transcript text: Consider the following function.
\[
t(x)=-\frac{5}{8} x
\]
Step 2 of 2 : Find two points on the graph of this function, other than the origin, that fit within the given $[-10,10]$ by $[-10,10]$ grid. Express each coordinate as an integer or simplified fraction, or round to four decimal places as necessary.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify Points on the Graph
To find points on the graph of the function \( t(x) = -\frac{5}{8} x \), we selected two x-values within the range \([-10, 10]\): \( x = -8 \) and \( x = 8 \).
Step 2: Calculate Corresponding y-values
Using the function \( t(x) \), we calculate the corresponding y-values for the selected x-values:
For \( x = -8 \):
\[
t(-8) = -\frac{5}{8} \cdot (-8) = 5.0
\]
Thus, the point is \( (-8, 5.0) \).
For \( x = 8 \):
\[
t(8) = -\frac{5}{8} \cdot 8 = -5.0
\]
Thus, the point is \( (8, -5.0) \).
Final Answer
The two points on the graph of the function \( t(x) \) are:
\[
\boxed{(-8, 5.0)} \quad \text{and} \quad \boxed{(8, -5.0)}
\]
