Answer:
B) x = 1, y = 46/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for a straight line is
y = mx + b
Step 1. Find the <em>slope of the line </em>
The slope m is
m =(y₂ -y₁)/(x₂/x₁)
Two of your points are (0, 2) and (3, 7).
m = (7 – 2)/(3 – 0)
m = 5/3
Step 2. Find the <em>equation of the line</em>
Use point (0, 2).
2 = ⁵/₃ × 0 + b
2 = 0 + b
b = 2
The equation of the line is
y = ⁵/₃x + 2
===============
Step 3.Find the coordinates of the <em>first missing point</em>.
(x, 11/3)
11/3 = ⁵/₃x + 2 Multiply each side by 3
11 = 5x + 6 Subtract 6 from each side
5 = 5x Divide each side by 5
x = 1
The missing value is x = 1.
===============
Step 4. Find the coordinates of the <em>second missing point </em>
(8, y)
y = ⁵/₃ × 8 + 2 Multiply each side by 3
3y = 40 + 6 Combine like terms
3y = 46 Divide each side by 3
y = 46/3
The missing value is y = 46/3.
Your three known points give the green line in the graph below.
The orange dot represents the first missing point at (1, 11/3).
The red dot represents the second missing point at (8, 46/3).

Just use the coefficients for each variable and put it in a matrix. Is the second question set equal to something? Because then you would put it in place as the question mark. (Did the pic come through?)
So the 3x3 matrix is made up of the coefficients and then to augment the matrix, you add another column at the end with the solutions. Good luck!
