Final answer:
To evaluate the function ƒ(x) = − 3x/5 + 1 at x = − 10, substitute − 10 into the function and simplify to obtain ƒ(− 10) = 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student asked to evaluate the function ƒ(x) = − 3x/5 + 1 at x = − 10.
To do this, simply substitute − 10 for x in the function:
ƒ(− 10) = − 3(− 10)/5 + 1
ƒ(− 10) = 30/5 + 1
ƒ(− 10) = 6 + 1
ƒ(− 10) = 7
Therefore, ƒ(− 10) equals 7.
