The value of p that makes the given equation true is equal to: B. p = -5

<u>Given the following equation:</u>

$3p - 8 = -23$

To find a value of p that makes the given equation true:

In this exercise, you're required to determine a value of p that satisfies the given equation true such that when substituted into the equation, it has a true result or outcome.

Rearranging the equation by collecting like terms, we have:

$3p - 8 = -23\\\\3p=-23+8\\\\3p=-15\\\\p=\frac{-15}{3}$

p = -5

30 POINTS By looking at the intercepts, which linear function does the graph represent?

C. f(x)=2/3x-2

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Looking at the graph we realize that the y-intercept is given by:

$b=-2$

The Slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is given by:

$y=mx+b$

So, our equation becomes:

$y=mx-2$

So the only option that matches a negative y-intercept is C. Let's see that the slope $m=2/3$ . Look at the y-intercept, if you increase x by 3 units, then y increases by 2 units and goes from $x=-2$ to $x=0$ . In other words:
