h(-2) = -4 and h(-8) = -3


There are two linear functions here.


h(-2) = -4

What number added to -2 = -4? How about -2? Then x = -2. We can make the


first linear function.


h(x) = x - 2


========================================

h(-8) = -3


What number added to -8 will produce -3?


How about 5?


h(x) = x + 5


This is your second linear function.
