Question 267616: f is a linear function.
1.)
If f(2) = 10 and f(10) = -2, find f(-10) and f(100)
I really have no idea what to do.Help?
Thank You!

f is a linear function.
If f(2) = 10
f(10) = -2
------------------
slope = (10--2)/(2-10) = 12/-8 = -3/2
--------------
Form: y = mx + b
You know m = -3/2 and y = 10 when x = 2.
Solve for "b":
10 = (-3/2)2 + b
b = 13
-----------------
Equation:
f(x) = (-3/2)x + 13
-----------------------
find f(-10) = (-3/2)(-10) + 13 = 28
and f(100) = (-3/2)(100) + 13 = -150 + 13 = -137
==================================================
Cheers,
