Question

Write a linear function f with the given values. f(6)=-2, f(0)=-5

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 0.5m - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line can be written as

y = mx + b, with x being the input and y the output

let's plug in our two values.

-2 = m(6) + b

-2 = 6m + b

-5 = 0m + b

-2 = 6m+b

-5 = b

plug -5=b into the first equation

-2 = 6m - 5

add 5 to both sides

3 = 6m

divide both sides by 6

0.5 = m

our function is now

y = 0.5m - 5
