Question

Write a linear function f with the values f (0) =4 and f(3)=-8

Answer 1

Answer:

f(x) = - 4x + 4

Explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function has the form

f(x) = ax + b, thus

f(0) = a(0) + b = 4, that is

0 + b = 4 , hence b = 4

f(3) = 3a + b = - 8 ← substitute b = 4

3a + 4 = - 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

3a = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = - 4, thus

f(x) = - 4x + 4
