Answer:
y = 3x - 4 (the choice in the top right box)
Explanation:
Top left choice:
Try (7, 17) with y = 2x - 1
y = 2(7) - 1
y = 14 - 1
y = 13
You have (7, 17), so you'd need y = 17, but since y = 13, the equation
y = 2x - 1 is not it.
Top right choice:
Try (7, 17) with y = 3x - 4
y = 3(7) - 4
y = 21 - 4
y = 17
You have (7, 17), and you need y = 17. Here, you did get y = 17, so this equation may be it. We need to try the other given ordered pairs with this equation.
Try (5, 11) with y = 3x - 4
y = 3(5) - 4
y = 15 - 4
y = 11
(5, 11) works.
Try (3, 5) with y = 3x - 4
y = 3(3) - 4
y = 9 - 4
y = 5
(3, 5) works.
Try (2, 2) with y = 3x - 4
y = 3(2) - 4
y = 6 - 4
y = 2
(2, 2) works.
All given points work with y = 3x 4.
Answer: y = 3x - 4 (the choice in the top right box)
