Answer:

y = 3 - 2x

Explanation:

The function y = f(x) passes through the points (1,1) and (2,-1).

So, any two known points satisfying a linear function are sufficient to determine the function equation.

From the two points form of straight line we can write,


(y - 1)/(1 - (- 1)) = (x - 1)/(1 - 2)

⇒ y - 1 = 2(1 - x)

⇒ y - 1 = 2 - 2x

y = 3 - 2x

Therefore, this is the equation of the linear function. (Answer)
