What would she have gotten for the equation of the linear function if she had used the ordered pairs (2, 5) and (4, 1) instead?
y = negative 4 x + 9
y = negative 4 x + 18
y = negative 2 x + 9
y = negative 2 x + 18
If Misty had used the ordered pairs (2, 5) and (4, 1) instead, the equation of the linear function would have been y = -2x + 9.
Mike correctly found the slope and y-intercept of the line passing through the points (–5, –2) and (3, 14) as follows.
m = StartFraction 14 minus (negative 2) Over 3 minus (negative 5) EndFraction = StartFraction 16 Over 8 EndFraction = 2. y = 2 x + b. Negative 2 = 2 (negative 5) + b. Negative 2 + 10 = negative 10 + b + 10. b = 8.

Lila wrote an equation of the cost for printing brochures, where x represents the number of brochures and y represents the total cost. The total cost for 35 brochures is $41.45. The total cost for 65 brochures is $55.55.
Step 1: Write the ordered pairs (35, 41.45) and (65, 55.55).
Step 2: Find the slope. m = StartFraction 55.55 minus 41.45 Over 65 minus 35 EndFraction = 0.47
Step 3: Find the y-intercept to write the equation in slope intercept form. y minus 55.55 = 0.47 (x minus 35). Y minus 55.55 = 0.47 x minus 16.45. y = 0.47 x + 39.1.
Which explains the error that Lila made?
Lila made in error in Step 1 by reversing the ordered pairs.
Lila made an error in Step 2 by not using the slope formula.
Lila made an error in Step 3 when she did not use the x- and y-coordinates from the same ordered pair.
Lila made an error in Step 3 when she did not use the distributive property correctly when multiplying.
