A straight line has the equation y = 22 - 5
The point P lies on the straight line.
The Y co-ordinate is -6.
Find the x co-ordinate of P.
I'm so confused x(

-
Simple; substitute -6 for y; now -6 = 2x - 5. Add 5 to both sides so -1 = 2x. Divide by 2 and
x = -1/2.
x = -1/2.
-
y= 2x - 5
if y= -6 then x coordinate of P is
x= - 1/2
if y= -6 then x coordinate of P is
x= - 1/2

Well am confused i need a picture of it
-
If y is always equal to 17, how can you have a y coordinate of -6?
-
Are you sure it's not y = 2x - 5 ????
