Choose a linear function for the line represented by the point-slope equation y – 5 = 3(x – 2).
f(x) = 3x + 1
f(x) = 3x – 1
f(x) = 8x + 10
f(x) = 8x – 10
To convert the point-slope equation to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to isolate y.
Starting with y - 5 = 3(x - 2), we can distribute the 3 to get y - 5 = 3x - 6.
Next, we can add 5 to both sides to get y = 3x - 1.
Therefore, the linear function for the line represented by the point-slope equation is f(x) = 3x - 1.

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's solve it correctly this time.
Starting with the point-slope equation y - 5 = 3(x - 2), we can distribute the 3 to get y - 5 = 3x - 6.
Next, we can add 5 to both sides to get y = 3x - 1.
Therefore, the linear function for the line represented by the point-slope equation is f(x) = 3x - 1.
