The generic equation for a linear function can be expressed in the slope intercept form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. For this problem we can first find the equation of the line. Then we substitute x = 7 to get the f(x) value, which is n at the point x = 7.
To find the equation of the linear function we first find the slope. Slope is defined as the change in f(x) divided by the change in x. As we are given a linear function, the slope at every point is the same. We can pick any two points known to find the slope.
Let's pick (3, 7) and (9, 16). The slope m is m = (16-7)/(9-3) = 9/6 = 3/2.
Now that we have the slope, we can plug in the slope and one of the points to find b. Let's use the point (3, 7).
f(x) = mx + b
7 = (1/2)(3) + b
b = 11/2
Now we can write the equation
f(x) = (1/2)x + 11/2
Plugging in x = 7 we find that f(7) = 9. n = 9

Answer:
√35 +3√7 -6 . . . square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The area can be figured a number of ways. The figure can be divided into parts, and the areas of those parts added.
Or, the area of the enclosing rectangle can be found, and the rectangle at upper right that is not shaded can be subtracted from that. We choose the latter.
The overall width is the sum of the given partial widths:
width = (√7 -2) + (2) = √7
Then the area of the bounding rectangle is ...
A = LW = (√5 +3)(√7) = √35 +3√7
The area of the upper right empty-space is ...
A = LW = (3)(2) = 6
Then The area of the shaded figure is ...
√35 +3√7 -6
