Answer:
y = 1/2x -3
x=-2 ⇒ y = -4
x=-1 ⇒ y = -3.5
x=0 ⇒ y = -3
x=1 ⇒ y = -2.5
x=2 ⇒ y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to isolate y:
x - 2y = 6
-2y =6-x
y = (6-x)/-2
y = -3+1/2x
y = 1/2x -3
Now, we have to create a table with the next values (see attachment)
x=-2 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(-2)-3= -4
x=-1 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(-1)-3= -3.5
x=0 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(0)-3= -3
x=1 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(1)-3= -2.5
x=2 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(2)-3= -2
