Answer: f(x)= 2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given information we can come up with two points that will be use to find the slope and y-intercept.
If you input 0 you get -3 so the point will be (0,-3)
If you input 7 you get 11 so the point will be (7,11)
Now use the points to find the difference in their y coordinates and divide it by the difference in their x coordinates to find the slope.
y coordinates: -3 - 11 = -14
x coordinates: 0 - 7 = -7
-14/-7 = 2
Since the slope is two, we will use the slope intercept formula (y = mx +b) to find the b which is the y intercept.
Use one of the points and input its x and y coordinates into the formula including the slope to solve for b.
-3= 2(0) +b
-3 = 0 + b
b = -3
f(x) is the same as y in the formula, meaning that the equation will be
f(x) = 2x -3
Both variables (x) are 3.
4×3=12
12-2=10
16×3=48
48-8=40
3 fits the variable of the missing number.
