Answer: y = -1,2x + 3.4
Step-by-step explanation:
y = ax + b
(2,1) => 1 = 2a + b (1)
(17,-17) => -17 =17a + b (2)
Using caculator Mode => 5 =>1
We get : a=- 1.2 , b = 3.4
=> y = -1.2x + 3.4
A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression (e.g. 4 in 4x).
The 2 and + are out since they don't have variables(and the + is just a +).
So 4 and x are left. x is a variable, not a coefficient, so the last(and correct) answer is 4.

Take a ruler and put it on your desk and mesure from the centimeter side!!
If the question is supposed to be

Now multiply both sides by 3 to get 3(-21)=-63=e
