-10x + y = 4

I am not sure how to apply this/what to plugin. For example how would I use this function rule if x = -2
Thanks

That is the function rule btw

-10x + y = 4

add +10x to both sides
-10x + y = 4
+10x = +10x
---------------------- add
y = 10 x + 4
now if x = -2
then
y = 10(-2) + 4

looks like around -16 to me
check by using that y = -16 in the original

Thanks

To use the given equation, -10x + y = 4, and to find the value of y when x = -2, you need to substitute the value of x into the equation.

Let's plug in x = -2 into the equation:

-10(-2) + y = 4

Simplify the equation:

20 + y = 4

Now, to isolate y, you need to move 20 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 20 from both sides:

20 + y - 20 = 4 - 20
y = -16

Therefore, when x = -2, the corresponding value of y that satisfies the equation is y = -16.
