To solve for [tex]\( y \)[/tex] given the equation [tex]\( y = \frac{-x}{1} - 3 \)[/tex], let's break it down step-by-step:
1. Simplify the fraction:
The fraction [tex]\(\frac{-x}{1}\)[/tex] simplifies directly to [tex]\(-x\)[/tex].
2. Substitute the simplified expression:
Now, substitute [tex]\(-x\)[/tex] back into the equation:
[tex]\[
y = -x - 3
\][/tex]
3. Evaluate the function at a specific value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
Let's evaluate the function at [tex]\( x = 1 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
y = -1 - 3
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the result:
Perform the arithmetic operation:
[tex]\[
-1 - 3 = -4
\][/tex]
So, when [tex]\( x = 1 \)[/tex], [tex]\( y \)[/tex] evaluates to [tex]\(-4\)[/tex].
Thus, the result is:
[tex]\[ (-4, y = -x - 3) \][/tex]
