POINT: (7,-3)
SLOPE: 3.1

f%28x%29-%28-3%29=3.1%28x-7%29

f%28x%29=3.1%28x-7%29-3

Let x=14. Evaluate f.

Suppose f is a linear function such that f(7) = 3. If the slope of f is 3.1, then what is f(14)? 
Correct equation: f(x) = 3.1x - 18.7

Find f(14), by substituting 14 for x.

That's all........Nothing COMPLEX and/or CONFUSING!
