Your insight that the function values differ by 5 every time is very important. So your f(x) will contain 5x as a term. You have to find a constant to add or subtract to make sure f(1)=-2.

f(x) = 5x-7 does the job.

First we will calculate the distance AB.
$AB=B-A=23-5=18.$
If C is 5/9 of the distance, mathematically speaking that means:
$C= \frac{5}{6} *AB= \frac{5}{6} *18=15.$
R: The coordonate of C is 15.

Factor this trinomial. Your answer should consist of two binomials.

Y² + 8y - 33 :

Break the expression into groups for formula ax²+ bx+c :

= (y²- 3y) + (11y - 33 )

Factor y from y² - 3y => y (y - 3)

Factor out 11 from 11 y - 33 => 11 (y - 3)

= y ( y- 3 ) + 11 ( y - 3 )

Factor out common term (y - 3 ) :

= ( y - 3 ) ( y + 11 )

hope this helps!
