Question

consider the following equation.
$7x - 2y = 6$
step 1 of 2: determine the missing coordinate in the ordered pair $(-2, ?)$ so that it will satisfy the given equation.
answer 2 points
$(-2, \quad )$

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute $x=-2$ into equation

$7(-2) - 2y = 6$

Step2: Simplify the left-hand side

$-14 - 2y = 6$

Step3: Isolate the term with $y$

$-2y = 6 + 14$
$-2y = 20$

Step4: Solve for $y$

$y = \frac{20}{-2}$

Answer:

$(-2, -10)$
