Transcript text: Complete the table below to find solutions to the linear equation $y=2 x-5$.
Solution
To complete the table and find solutions to the linear equation \( y = 2x - 5 \), we need to choose values for \( x \) and then calculate the corresponding \( y \) values using the given equation.
Let's choose a few values for \( x \) and compute \( y \):
When \( x = 0 \):
\[
y = 2(0) - 5 = -5
\]
So, the point is \( (0, -5) \).
When \( x = 1 \):
\[
y = 2(1) - 5 = -3
\]
So, the point is \( (1, -3) \).
When \( x = 2 \):
\[
y = 2(2) - 5 = -1
\]
So, the point is \( (2, -1) \).
When \( x = 3 \):
\[
y = 2(3) - 5 = 1
\]
So, the point is \( (3, 1) \).
When \( x = -1 \):
\[
y = 2(-1) - 5 = -7
\]
So, the point is \( (-1, -7) \).
