Choose x=0: To find ordered pairs for the equation y=−2x−5, we can choose different values for x and then calculate the corresponding y values.
Calculate y for x=0: Let's choose x=0 as our first value. Plugging x=0 into the equation y=−2x−5 gives us y=−2(0)−5, which simplifies to y=−5.
Ordered pair for x=0: The ordered pair for x=0 is (0,−5).
Choose x=1: Now let's choose x=1. Plugging x=1 into the equation y=−2x−5 gives us y=−2(1)−5, which simplifies to y=−2−5, and then to y=−7.
Calculate y for x=1: The ordered pair for x=1 is (1,−7).
Ordered pair for x=1: Next, let's choose x=−1. Plugging x=−1 into the equation y=−2x−5 gives us y=−2(−1)−5, which simplifies to y=2−5, and then to y=−3.
Choose x=−1: The ordered pair for x=−1 is (−1,−3).
