Question

The point (-6,y) lies on the graph of the equation : 5y=2x-4. what is the value of y.

Answer 1

5y=2(-6)-4
5y=-12-4
5y=-16
y=-16/5

hope this helps!

Answer 2

It is given that the point (-6,y) lies on the graph of the equation 5y=2x-4.

Since, the point lies on the graph. It means the value of x coordinate is '-6'.

Substituting the value of x in the given equation.

$5y=2x-4$

$5y=(2 \times -6)-4$

$5y= -12-4$

5y = -16

$y= \frac{-16}{5}$

So, the value of y is $\frac{-16}{5}$.
