You can  put this solution on YOUR website! You just need to plug in the numbers for x.  For example, to find f(1), set x=1 and turn the crank:
 
f(1) = -5*(1) - 7 = -5 - 7 = -12 
 
I hope this gives you enough of a template so you can do the other two.

----------- 
f(x)=-5x-7 
For f(1), where you see x, sub 1. 
----- 
For f(-2), where you see x, sub -2.
 
For f(4), where you see x, sub 4. 
---------------- 
It looks scary, but it's simple.
