b. (15,5)
c. (3,-7)
d. (6,-14)
e. (-8,-14)

we can set up an equation to find the girls' ages. the equation is         28=0.5x-5+x. (comment if you need me to explain how i got this equation.) so, you add x and 0.5x to get 1.5x and add 5 to each side. your new equation is 33=1.5x. now divide both sides of the equation by 1.5 to get 22=x. because x is mary's age, to find jasmine's age we subtract mary's age from 28. we find that mary is 22 years old and jasmine is 6 years old.

let

step

find the slope of the line ab

we know that

the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

substitute the values

step

find the equation of the line ab with the slope m and point a

we know that

the equation of the line in the slope-point form is equal to

substitute the values

convert to function form

let

therefore

the answer is the option
