Explanation

We are required to evaluate the following:


f(x)=(1)/(4)x\text{ }for\text{ }x=-5

This is achieved thus:

We substitute the value of x in the function as follows:


\begin{gathered} f(x)=(1)/(4)x \\ where\text{ }x=-5 \\ f(-5)=(1)/(4)\cdot(-5) \\ f(-5)=(-5)/(4) \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is:


(-5)/(4)
