Answer:
Here is the graph I made, starting from (-3,1) to (-2,-1) it goes down 2 units and over 1 unit.
3
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 (5x -3)+8=17
3/4 (5x -3) = 17 - 8 = 9
(5x -3) = 9 * (4/3)= 36/3 = 12
5x = 12 + 3 = 15
x = 3
Answer
Part A
1 - 1
2 - 3
3 - 6
4 - 10
5 - 15
Part B
Now plot these points on the coordinate plane
(1,1) (2,3) (3,6) (4,10) (5,15)
Part C
It is NOT a linear function
