Dr. Ellison is wrong.

More information is needed to answer this question.

Answer 1

To determine if Dr. Ellison is right or wrong, we need to check if the point (2, 13) satisfies the equation \(y = -3x + 7\).

We can do this by substituting \(x = 2\) into the equation:

\[
y = -3(2) + 7
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
y = -6 + 7 = 1
\]

The point we evaluated gives us \(y = 1\), not \(y = 13\). Therefore, (2, 13) does not satisfy the equation.

So, Dr. Ellison is wrong.

The correct response is: **Dr. Ellison is wrong.**
