For all the given options, let's substitute these values and check what length do they give for <em>5x+3.</em>
A) -0.2:
5x+3 = 5 (-0.2) + 3 = 2
B) 0:
5x+3 = 5 (0) + 3 = 3
C) 1:
5x+3 = 5 (1) + 3 = 8
D) 3:
5x+3 = 5(3) + 3 = 18
So in my opinion, the option D. 3 cannot be possible value for x. The reason being that 3 gives us a length of 18 which is already shown in the diagram as the longest length.
While 5x+3 looks way smaller than the one shown by 18.
A line parallel to the y-axis that passes through (77,88) is x = 77. There is no slope-intercept form of this equation if our coordinate system is based upon a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis.
