What is the resulting ordered pair if the value of the independent variable is 5? f (x) = - 2x 1 a. (-2, 5) b. (5, - 9) c. (5, - 11) d. (2, 5)

The independent variable is the x-value.

Plug 5 into the equation for x;

-2 (5) + 1 = - 9 (5, - 9)

-2 (5) - 1 = - 11 (5, - 11)

You left out the sign before the 1 in your problem so you'll have to see which one it is.
