We can find the equation of the line by first finding the slope of f, which is



Then we can write in point-slope form.

, hence f(0) = 4 (by replacing x with 0 and solving for y).
-----------------
Or, we can find the number 5/8 of the way from -21 to 19, because 0 is 5/8 of the way from -5 to 3. It can be seen that 4 is 5/8 of the way from -21 to 19, so f(0) = 4.
