Table of Values Solutions

A table of values for an equation is a set of points you can graph on a coordinate plane. 
The relationship between the x– and y-coordinates can be determined by completing a table of values. 
To complete a table of values using the given equation:

1. Substitute the values for the variable x into the equation one at a time. 
2. Solve the equation for the missing variable, y.

Complete the table using the equation.

$y = \frac{1}{2} x - 3$

Implement

$y = \frac{1}{2} (- 2) - 3 = - 1 - 3 = - 4 y = \frac{1}{2} (0) - 3 = 0 - 3 = - 3 y = \frac{1}{2} (2) - 3 = 1 - 3 = - 2$

Explain

Complete the table using the equation.

$y = - \frac{5}{3} x + 1$

Implement

$y = - \frac{5}{3} (- 3) + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6 y = - \frac{5}{3} (0) + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1 y = - \frac{5}{3} (3) + 1 = - 5 + 1 = - 4$
