Question

Which table shows ordered pairs that satisfy the function y=4x-2

Answer 1

Answer: Choice D

==========================================================

Explanation:

If you plug in x = -2, then,

y = 4x-2

y = 4(-2)-2

y = -8-2

y = -10

This shows that the answer must be choice D, as this is the only answer that has x = -2 lead to y = -10. Note the first column of table D.

We could stop here if you wanted.

----------------------

If we kept going and plugged in x = 0, then,

y = 4x-2

y = 4(0)-2

y = 0-2

y = -2

We have x = 0 lead to y = -2. This matches with the second column of table D.

-----------------------

Lastly, if we plugged in x = 2, then we get,

y = 4x-2

y = 4(2)-2

y = 8-2

y = 6

So the third column of table D is also confirmed.
