Q. Evaluate the expression for

y = 1

\newline

Write your answer in simplest form.

\newline

\frac{y - 8}{-y + 2} = \underline{\hspace{3em}}

Identify Expression: Identify the expression after substituting $y = 1$ $\newline$ Substitute $1$ for $y$ in $\frac{y - 8}{-y + 2}$ . $\newline$ $\frac{1 - 8}{-1 + 2}$
Substitute and Simplify: Evaluate $1 - 8$ $\newline$ $1 - 8 = -7$ $\newline$ Numerator: $-7$
Evaluate Numerator: Evaluate $-1 + 2$ $-1 + 2 = 1$ Denominator: $1$
Evaluate Denominator: $-\frac{7}{1}$ $\newline$ The fraction $-\frac{7}{1}$ is already in simplest form. $\newline$ Final expression: $-7$
