As you can see, every time x increases by 2, y decreases by 5.
So, we have

The answer to (3x-1)2=5 is x= 7/6
The answer is B) <span>Stacy’s employer is withholding too little for state income tax.
Stacy's state income tax withholding should be:
163.88 x 19% = $31.14, which is less than $24.58</span>
Y=mx+b is The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
We have to find the slope of the line that passes through this points:
p1(-2,15), p2(-8,-5)
the slope of a line through two points is calculated like this:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where x1,y1,x2,y2 are the coordinates of the two points, so we have:
m = (-5 - 15)/(-8 - (-2))
m = (-20)/(-8 + 2)
m = -20/-6
m = 10/3
that is the line slope
