Question

Write a linear function f with f(-4) = 2 and f (6) = -3.

Answer 1

Answer: f(x) = −1/2x
Explanation: Use the slope formula and slope-intercept form y = mx + b to find the equation.

Answer 2

Explanation:

we have 2 pts (-4,2) and (6,-3)

slope =
`(-3-2)/(6-(-4))=(-5)/(10)=-(1)/(2)`

so:
`y=-(1)/(2)+b`

plug in any point:

`-3=-(1)/(2) * 6 +b`

`b=0`

so,
`y=-(1)/(2) x`
