Question 593369
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Ordered pairs that are elements of the solution set of the function are represented by *[tex \LARGE \left(x,f(x)\right)].  So you have been given two points:  *[tex \LARGE (2,14)] and *[tex \LARGE (3,18)]


Use the two-point form of an equation of a linear function:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y\ -\ y_1\ =\ \left(\frac{y_1\ -\ y_2}{x_1\ -\ x_2}\right)(x\ -\ x_1) ]


where *[tex \Large \left(x_1,y_1\right)] and *[tex \Large \left(x_2,y_2\right)] are the coordinates of the given points.


Once you have simplified your equation, substitute -2 in place of *[tex \LARGE x] then solve for *[tex \LARGE y]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
