Substitute - 2 into negative 2Y minus 8X equals six

When the value of x = - 2 then, the value of y is 5.

When the value of y = - 2 then the value of x is - 0.25

Explanation:

Given:

-2y - 8x = 6

Considering x = - 2

Then, we have to substitute the value of x = - 2 in the equation.

-2y - 8 (-2) = 6

-2y + 16 = 6

10 = 2y

y = 5

So, when the value of x = - 2 then, the value of y is 5.

Considering y = - 2

Then, we have to substitute the value of y = - 2 in the equation.

-2 (-2) - 8x = 6

4 - 8x = 6

-2 = 8x

x = - 0.25

So, when the value of y = - 2 then the value of x is - 0.25
