The coordinate pairs (-5, -11), (0, -1), and (5, 9) are solutions to which function? a. f(x)=3x-1 b. f(x)=2x+1 c. f(x)=3x-6 d. f(x)=2x-1

You have to probe each function until you find the right one.

1) f(x) = 3x - 1
  x   f(x) = 3x - 1

-5        3(-5) - 1 = -15 - 1 = - 16 => it is not

2) f(x) = 2x + 1

  x     f(x) = 2x + 1

-5        2(-5) + 1 = -10 + 1 = - 9 => it is not

3) f(x) = 3x - 6

  x      f(x) = 3x - 6

-5         3(-5) - 6 = - 15 - 6 = - 21 => it is not

4) f(x) = 2x - 1

  x     f(x) = 2x - 1

- 5    2(-5) - 1 = -10 - 1 = -11 => point (-5, -11) => right

0       2(0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = - 1 => pont ( 0, - 1) => right

5       2(5) - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9 => point (5, 9) => right

Therefore the answer is the option d. f(x) = 2x - 1
