Math Problem Statement

Complete the input and output table using the expression y = -3x - 3.

Solution

Let's work through the input and output table from the image you provided.

The expression (rule) is given as: y=3x3y = -3x - 3

Now, we will substitute each input value (x) into this expression to get the corresponding output (y).

  1. For x=1x = -1: y=3(1)3=33=0y = -3(-1) - 3 = 3 - 3 = 0 So, the output for x=1x = -1 is y=0y = 0.

  2. For x=0x = 0: y=3(0)3=03=3y = -3(0) - 3 = 0 - 3 = -3 So, the output for x=0x = 0 is y=3y = -3.

  3. For x=1x = 1: y=3(1)3=33=6y = -3(1) - 3 = -3 - 3 = -6 So, the output for x=1x = 1 is y=6y = -6.

  4. For x=2x = 2: y=3(2)3=63=9y = -3(2) - 3 = -6 - 3 = -9 So, the output for x=2x = 2 is y=9y = -9.


Here is the completed table:

Input (x)Output (y)
-10
0-3
1-6
2-9

Would you like assistance with plotting the points on the graph or anything else?

Here are some related questions:

  1. How does changing the coefficient in the expression affect the slope of the line?
  2. What happens to the outputs if you change the rule to y=3x+3y = -3x + 3?
  3. Can you find the slope and y-intercept from the equation y=3x3y = -3x - 3?
  4. How would the outputs change if you doubled the input values?
  5. How does the table of values relate to the graph of the function?

Tip: When filling out input-output tables, it's useful to first calculate each value systematically, and then double-check by substituting the inputs back into the rule.
