Question

write the statement as an equation as an equation in two variables the y-value is -5 decreased by six times the x-value

Answer 1

For this case we have the following statement:

"the y-value is -5 decreased by six times the x-value"

We must write the equation in algebraic form.

We have then:

• the y-value is: y =
•  -5: -5
• decreased by: -
• six times the x-value: 6x

Rewriting we have:

$y = -5-6x$

Answer:

the statement as an equation is:

$y = -5-6x$
