- For the equation y = 2x - 3:
- When x = -1, y = 2(-1) - 3 = -5
- When x = 0, y = 2(0) - 3 = -3
- When x = 1, y = 2(1) - 3 = -1
- When x = 2, y = 2(2) - 3 = 1
- For the equation y = (1/4)x - 5:
- When x = -4, y = (1/4)(-4) - 5 = -6
- When x = 0, y = (1/4)(0) - 5 = -5
- When x = 4, y = (1/4)(4) - 5 = -4
- For the equation y = (1/2)x:
- When x = -2, y = (1/2)(-2) = -1
- When x = 0, y = (1/2)(0) = 0
- When x = 2, y = (1/2)(2) = 1
- When x = 4, y = (1/2)(4) = 2
- For the equation y = (x/2) + 1:
- When x = -2, y = (-2/2) + 1 = 0
- When x = 0, y = (0/2) + 1 = 1
- When x = 2, y = (2/2) + 1 = 2
- When x = 4, y = (4/2) + 1 = 3
- For the equation y = 6x - 11:
- When x = -1, y = 6(-1) - 11 = -17
- When x = 0, y = 6(0) - 11 = -11
- When x = 1, y = 6(1) - 11 = -5
- When x = 2, y = 6(2) - 11 = 1
- For the equation y = -x + 3:
- When x = -1, y = -(-1) + 3 = 4
- When x = 0, y = -(0) + 3 = 3
- When x = 1, y = -(1) + 3 = 2
- When x = 2, y = -(2) + 3 = 1
