I dont know this one im just starting to learn slope sorry! :/

To solve this, simply plug the two x values (-1 and 5) into each equation and evaluate them. Whichever equation generates the correct results (5 and 8, respectively) for both x values is the correct answer.

or example, the last equation is y = 1/2x - 11/2 Solving for x = -1, y = 1/2*(-1) - 11/2 = -1/2 - 11/2 = -12/2 = -6 Since for x = -1, y is not equal to 5, this line does not pass through the point (-1, 5) Solving for x = 5, y = 1/2*5 - 11/2 = 5/2 - 11/2 = -6/2 = -3 Since for x = 5, y is not equal to 8, this line does not pass through the point (5, 8) The correct solution will be the line that passes through both points.

@Blacksteel I have to leave in a few moments, would you mind giving the answer? I dont have paper or such to grid it out on.
