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

question 1 options:
a) 5/16
b)−16/5
c) −5/16
d)16/5

The value of y is -  ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

- If a point lies on the graph of an equation, then it must to satisfy the

  equation

- That means when you substitute the coordinates of the point in the

  equation the left hand side will equal the right hand side

- The point (-6 , y) lies on the graph of the equation 5 y = 2 x - 4

- We need to find the value of y-coordinate of the point

- To do that substitute the value of x-coordinate of the point in the

  equation

∵ 5 y = 2 x - 4

∵ x = - 6

∴ 5 y = 2(-6) - 4

- Multiply 2 by - 6

∴ 5 y = - 12 - 4

- Add like terms in the right hand side

∴ 5y = - 16

Divide both sides by 5

∴ y = -

The value of y is -

9 x 8 divided by (5-3)=36
