Question 329684: Helllo. I was hoping you could please help me. You're help is truly appreciated.
My question is as follows:
If f is a linear function and f(0)=10 and f(10)=14, find f(5) and f(-5).
Could you please explain to me the process of solving this function?
Thank you so much!
Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If f is a linear function and f(0)=10 and f(10)=14,
Convert to x and y values
f(0)=10: x1=0, y1=10
f(10)=14: x2=10, y2=14
Find the slope
m = = 4/10, or +.4
:
Find the equation
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 10 = .4(x - 0)
y = .4x + 10 is the equation
:
find f(5)
y = .4(5) + 10
y = 2 + 10
y = 12
f(5) = 12
:
and f(-5).
y = .4(-5) + 12
y = -2 + 10
y = 8
f(-5) = 8
