Answer:

f(x)= 3x + 1

Explanation:

Let's set the unknown variable as b, since it's a linear equation.

Using the point given (-3, -8), we can find b by plugging in the known numbers and solving.

-8 = -3 (3) + b

-8 = -9 + b

b = 1

If you want, you can check it by forming the complete equation and plugging in -3.

f(x)= 3x + 1

f(-3) = -9 + 1

f(-3) = -8 = -8

I hope this helped!
