The first thing I'd do is put this equation into standard slope - intercept form.
12x - 5y = 2 Subtract 12x from each side
-5y = -12x + 2 Divide each side by -5 to isolate the <em>y
</em><em />y = 12/5(x) - 2/5
The slope for this equation is 12/5, so we just take that and plug it into the slope - intercept equation with the given points (2, 3)
y = mx + b Fill in the variables
3 = 12/5(2) + b Simplify
3 = 24/5 + b Subtract 24/5 (or 4 4/5) from each side
-9/5 = b
Now we just fill in the correct variables (m and b) in the equation to have our final answer.
y = 12/5x - 9/5
F(1)=18
f(2)=18-2=16
f(3)=16-2=14
f(4)=14-2=12
f(5)=12-2=10
Divide by 3 each time
so
#1 is 9, because 27/3 = 9
#2 is 3, because 9/3 = 3
#3 is 1, because 3/3 = 1
So your answer is 9, 3, 1
hope this helps
The answer is (d) where x = -1 & 9
