Answer 8

Nope.
Plug the answer choices into the equation.
So, let's start with plugging in answer choice A.
The equation is: y = 2x - 5
Plug in answer choice A
And it's:
11 = 2*3 - 5
Now solve the right side of the equation.
Does it equal 11?

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

Yep, so let's plug in answer choice B to see if that works.
1 = 2*2 - 5
1 = ?

Answer 11

nah its b because 2*2 is 4 and 4-5 is -1 i think

Answer 12

its not*

Answer 13

Exactly! :D
Next step is to plug in C.
-3 = 2*1 - 5
-3 = ?
