I'm pretty sure that it's b. That's assuming that you find the negative of b^2 and not the square of negative b.
One way of determining the answer is by substituting the values to the equation. It is done as follows:
A. (4,1)
<span>y = 3x - 1
</span>1 = 3(4) - 1 = 11 -------> not equal
B. (2,5)
<span>y = 3x - 1
</span>5 = 3(2) - 1 = 5 --------> equal
C. (4,3)
<span>y = 3x - 1
</span>3 = 3(4) -1 --------------> not equal
D. (0, -3)
<span>y = 3x - 1
-3 = 3(0) -1 = -1 ---------> not equal</span>
Answer:
32 +x+x=180(Sum of angles of a triangle)
32+2x=180
2x=180-32
2x=148
x=148/2
Therefore,X=74
