    Find a linear function f, given f(16)=-2 and f(-12)=-9. Then find f(0)

    Find a linear function f, given f(16)=-2 and f(-12)=-9. Then find f(0). We've got 2 points: (16, -2) and (-12, -9) Calculate the slope (m) of this line using: m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) m = (-9 - -2)/(-12 - 16) m = -7/-28 m = 1/4 The line equation is denoted as: y = mx + b Let's use the first...

    f(x) = 3x - 1; g(x) = 15 - 3*f(x) The functions f and g are defined above. What is the value of g(2)

    f(x) = 3x - 1; g(x) = 15 - 3*f(x) The functions f and g are defined above. What is the value of g(2)? g(2) = 15 - 3 * f(2) f(2) = 3(2) - 1 f(2) = 6 - 1 f(2) = 5 Therefore, with f(2) = 5, g(2) is: g(2) = 15 - 3 * f(2) g(2) = 15 - 3 * 5 g(2) = 15 - 15 g(2) = 0
