A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.
From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.
Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.
Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.
Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.
Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.
-2(2)+3(3)=?
-4+9=?
5
Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.

Is there any other information like coordinates on the paper that are given to you?
Answer:
B. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
This table does not describe a linear relationship. This is because the table does not have a constant rate of change; between the first two points, the function changes by
(1/2 - 1/10)/(0--1) = (5/10 - 1/10)/(1) = 5/10 - 1/10 = 4/10 = 2/5
Between the second two points, the function changes by
(5/2-1/2)/(1-0) = (4/2)/1 = 4/2 = 2
Comparing the first two y-coordinates, we have 1/10 and 1/2 = 5/10. This is the result of multiplication by 5.
Comparing the second two y-coordinates, we have 1/2 and 5/2. This is the result of multiplication by 5.
Comparing the rest of the y-coordinates, we can see that each time, the y-coordinate is multiplied by 5. This means the rate of change is 5.
