Question

Which of the following sets of values correctly completes the T chart for the equation Y =|3x+1|. -5,1,7

Answer 1

Option C:

5, 1, 7

Solution:

Given equation:

y = |3x + 1|

In the chart, x values are given as –2, 0, 2.

To find the value of y for the corresponding x given.

Substitute x  = –2 in the equation of y.

y = |3(–2) + 1|

  = |–6 + 1|

  = |–5|   (Absolute value of a negative number is positive)

y = 5

Substitute x  = 0 in the equation of y.

y = |3(0) + 1|

  = |0 + 1|

  = |1|

y = 1

Substitute x  = 2 in the equation of y.

y = |3(2) + 1|

  = |6 + 1|

  = |7|   (Absolute value of a negative number is positive)

y = 7

Option C is the correct answer.

The values of y are 5, 1, 7.
