Thank you for the clarification! If the answers you provided are potentially the results of evaluating the function \( y = 18x - 13 \) for different values of \( x \), we can check to see if any of these numbers correspond to \( y \) for specific values of \( x \).
Let's evaluate the function for several values of \( x \):
-
For \( x = -4 \):
\[
y = 18(-4) - 13 = -72 - 13 = -85
\]
-
For \( x = -3 \):
\[
y = 18(-3) - 13 = -54 - 13 = -67
\]
-
For \( x = -2 \):
\[
y = 18(-2) - 13 = -36 - 13 = -49
\]
-
For \( x = -1 \):
\[
y = 18(-1) - 13 = -18 - 13 = -31
\]
-
For \( x = 0 \):
\[
y = 18(0) - 13 = 0 - 13 = -13
\]
-
For \( x = 1 \):
\[
y = 18(1) - 13 = 18 - 13 = 5
\]
-
For \( x = -0.5 \):
\[
y = 18(-0.5) - 13 = -9 - 13 = -22
\]
Given the values you listed:
- \(-12.5\)
- \(-13.5\)
- \(-16\)
- \(-15\)
The closest evaluation we did is for \( x = 0 \), which gives \( y = -13 \).
If you have specific \( x \) values you'd like to check or if you have additional questions, please let me know!
