Evaluate -3+y/5 when y = –2.5

If you would like to evaluate - 3 + y / 5 when y = - 2.5, you can calculate this using the following steps:

- 3 + y / 5 = - 3 + (- 2.5) / 5 = - 3 - 0.5 = - 3.5 = - 7/2

The correct result would be - 3.5.


If you would like to evaluate (- 3 + y) / 5 when y = - 2.5, you can calculate this using the following steps:

(- 3 + y ) / 5 = (- 3 + (- 2.5)) / 5 = - 5.5 / 5 = - 1.1

The correct result would be - 1.1

Where the white dots are is where your points should be plotted.a translation is simply just moving something from one place to another. in this case, you would move each plot point of the original shape 2 units up, and 5 units to the left.
