The following equation defines f(x)=-3x-5 . If (-5,n) is an ordered pair of the function rule, what is the value of n?
1 answer:
Given:
The function is
(-5,n) is an ordered pair of the function rule.
To find:
The value of n.
Solution:
If (-5,n) is an ordered pair of the function rule, then the function must be satisfied by the point (-5,n). It means f(-5)=n.
Substitute x=-5 in the given function.
We know that, . So,
Therefore, the value of n is 10.
