i have absolutely no idea what this means. can someone please help me with this question?: find the equation of the linear functions that has a slope of -3 and f(2)=6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Using the form y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Slope is given as -3 so we have
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3x + b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "f(2) = 6 means when x = 2, y = 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In our equation, substitute 2 for x, and 6 for y to find b
\n" ); document.write( "-3(2) + b = 6
\n" ); document.write( "-6 + b = 6
\n" ); document.write( "b = 6 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "b = 12;\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation is: y = -3x + 12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "CAn be writtten: f(x) = -3x + 12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check our reasoning:
\n" ); document.write( "You can see that: f(2) = -3(2) + 12 = 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
