Answers:

y = -1

y = 3

y = x - 1

y = 3x - 1

anonymous · Answer

so it  would be 3x - 1? when I graphed it, I did it the wrong way. I went both positive, not negative. I think that was my mistake

precal · Answer

no y=3x-1 is a linear function|dw:1405904931782:dw|

precal · Answer

it doesn't even pass through your given point, it passes through (3,8)
