Answer:

Explanation:

Y = 3.2x + 5 is a linear function with slope 3.2 and y-intercept 5.

For any x value you choose to substitute for x, you'll obtain a unique y value. For example, if we were to substitute -3 for x, we'd get:

f(-3) = y = 3.2(-3) + 5, or y = -9.6 + 5 = -4.6

There is only one y result for each choice of x.

Y=3.2x+5 alone does not have an "answer." Again: You must pick your own x values and for each such value you must calculate y.
