Substitute the given into the function

f(-4) = |7(-4) - 3|
now solve
f(-4) = |-28 - 3|
f(-4) = | -31|
the absolute value of |-31| is 31
so,
f(-4) = 31

Hope this helps :)

F(-4) means subsitute -4 for every x you see in the function

f(-4)=|(7(-4)-3|
f(-4)=|-28-3|
f(-4)=|-31|

|-31| means absolute value of -31 which just takes the distance the number is from 0 (or makes it positive if it is negative and leaves it alone if it is positive)

|-31|=31
f(-4)=31

I have a slope of -4 (m=-4), would that be negative four over positive one or would that be negative 4 over negative one?

If you have a slope of -4 then it would be -4/1 because rise/run. If it were -4/-1 then the slope would be 4.
