Q:

If (-3, y) lies on the graph of y = 3x, then y = a. 1/27 b. -1 c. -27

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The correct value of y = -9.Step-by-step explanation:We know that there is a graph which represents the line [tex] y = 3x [/tex] and we are given a point (-3, y). If this point (-3, y) lies on the graph, then we are to find the value of y.For that, we will substitute the given coordinate of x in the equation of the line to find y:[tex] y = 3x [/tex][tex]y=3(-3)[/tex][tex]y = -9[/tex]Therefore, the correct value of y is -9.
