Answer:

f(x) = -2/3(x +11) +5

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line will give you the desired linear function:

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . for slope m through point (h, k)

You are give point (x, f(x)) = (-11, 5) = (h, k), and you are given slope m = -2/3. Putting these values into the function form gives ...

f(x) = -2/3(x +11) +5
