In a coordinate , the x-coordinate represents the input of a function and the y-coordinate represents the output.
Part A:
We're looking for the point the line passes through with an x-coordinate (input) of -3. This point is (-3,1) and therefore the output is 1 when the input is -3.
Part B:
We're looking for the point the line passes through with a y-coordinate (output) of 2. This point is (-4,2) and therefore an input of -4 yields an output of 2.
Each question has three possible distinct answers. Ten questions have 3^10 possible distinct answers sheets. => (3^10)+3 will guarantee that at least 3 answer sheets are identical.
