Dr. Ellison is right.

Answer 1

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

Substituting \( x = 2 \) into the equation:

\[ y = -3(2) + 7 \] \[ y = -6 + 7 \] \[ y = 1 \]

The equation gives us \( y = 1 \) when \( x = 2 \), but Dr. Ellison claims that when \( x = 2 \), \( y = 13 \).

Since \( 1 \neq 13 \), Dr. Ellison is wrong.

The correct response is: Dr. Ellison is wrong.
