The answer is B. The values of y must only be positive because it is equal to

The other options states that the values of y could be negative which is why it is wrong.
<h3>
Answer: y = 5x + 7</h3>
Work Shown:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-3) = 5(x - (-2))
y + 3 = 5(x + 2)
y + 3 = 5x + 10
y = 5x + 10 - 3
y = 5x + 7
The equation is now in slope intercept form y = mx+b with m = 5 as the slope and b = 7 as the y intercept. Plugging x = -2 into this equation will lead to y = -3.
Side note: parallel lines have equal slopes but different y intercepts.
It would be 1000 because if you do 1000 times 1000 you would get 1000
Try this option:
1. if 8*x²+b*x+3=8*x²+p*x+q*x+3, then ⇒ b=p+q.
2. p*q = max_value (b²/2), if p=q=0.5*b, and p*q→-oo, if p>0 and q<0 or p>0 q<0.
3. example:
given 8x²+10x+3, the student rewrites it as a) 8x²+5x+5x+3 (5*5=25-max value); b) 8x²+0.01x+9.99x+3 (9.99*0.01=0.0999→0); c) 8x²-20x+30x+3 (p*q=-600).
answer: (-oo;0.5b²)
