Question

Find the value of $\mathrm{y}$ when $\mathrm{x}=-5.$

$\mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{5}\mathrm{x}+1$

Answer 1

Given equation : $\mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{5}\mathrm{x}+1$

Now put $\mathrm{x}=-5$ in given equation,

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{5}\mathrm{x}+1 \\ =\frac{1}{5}\times (-5)+1 \\ =\frac{1}{\cancel{5}}\times (-\cancel{5})+1 \\ =-1+1 \\ =0 \end{gathered}$$

We get, $\mathrm{y}=0$

Hence, the value of $\mathrm{y}$ when $\mathrm{x}=-5$ is $0$.
