f(x)=-23x
Step 1
Write f(x)=-23x as an equation.
y=-23x
Step 2
Step 2.1
Combine x and 23.
y=-x⋅23
Step 2.2
Move 2 to the left of x.
y=-2x3
y=-2x3
Step 3
Choose any value for x that is in the domain to plug into the equation.
Step 4
Step 4.1
Remove parentheses.
y=-2(0)3
Step 4.2
Simplify -2(0)3.
Step 4.2.1
Cancel the common factor of 0 and 3.
Step 4.2.1.1
Factor 3 out of 2(0).
y=-3(2⋅(0))3
Step 4.2.1.2
Cancel the common factors.
Step 4.2.1.2.1
Factor 3 out of 3.
y=-3(2⋅(0))3(1)
Step 4.2.1.2.2
Cancel the common factor.
y=-3(2⋅(0))3⋅1
Step 4.2.1.2.3
Rewrite the expression.
y=-2⋅(0)1
Step 4.2.1.2.4
Divide 2⋅(0) by 1.
y=-(2⋅(0))
y=-(2⋅(0))
y=-(2⋅(0))
Step 4.2.2
Multiply -(2⋅(0)).
Step 4.2.2.1
Multiply 2 by 0.
y=-0
Step 4.2.2.2
Multiply -1 by 0.
y=0
y=0
y=0
Step 4.3
Use the x and y values to form the ordered pair.
(0,0)
(0,0)
Step 5
Step 5.1
Remove parentheses.
y=-2(1)3
Step 5.2
Multiply 2 by 1.
y=-23
Step 5.3
Use the x and y values to form the ordered pair.
(1,-23)
(1,-23)
Step 6
Step 6.1
Remove parentheses.
y=-2(2)3
Step 6.2
Multiply 2 by 2.
y=-43
Step 6.3
Use the x and y values to form the ordered pair.
(2,-43)
(2,-43)
Step 7
These are three possible solutions to the equation.
(0,0),(1,-23),(2,-43)
Step 8
