Here is the graph with your line in it.
To simplify this expression would be 4x-3
-5x + y = -5.....multiply by -2
-4x + 2y = 2
---------------
10x - 2y = 10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-4x + 2y = 2
-----------------add
6x = 12
x = 12/6
x = 2
-5x + y = -5
-5(2) + y = -5
-10 + y = -5
y = -5 + 10
y = 5
solution is (2,5)

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = 3x + 1
f(-2) is x = -2
<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: f(-2) = 3(-2) + 1
- Multiply: f(-2) = -6 + 1
- Add: f(-2) = -5
