You are given 2 points on the graph of your linear function. At 2 the value of the function is 66. At 5 the value of the function is 150. Hence your points are )
and )
Use the two-point form of an equation of a line:
(x\ -\ x_1) )
where )
and )
are the coordinates of the given points.
Once you have written and simplified your equation, substitute 9 for 
and solve for
