Question

Write a linear function f with the values f (-1) = 5 and f (3) = 4.
A function is f(x) =

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since we have points (-1,5) and (3,4) we can find the slope m of y=mx+b

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-d1)=(5-4)/(-1-3)=1/-4=-1/4 so we have

y=-x/4+b, using point (3,4) we can solve for the y intercept, b.

4=-3/4+b, b=19/4, so the line is

y=(-x+19)/4
