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:
[tex]y = -5-6x[/tex]
Answer:
the statement as an equation is:
[tex]y = -5-6x[/tex]
