Question

I don't know how to solve this. I am doing my homework ahead of time and I don't know ehat to do. Please help. Thanks! :D
Write a linear function that satisfies the given conditions.
24. f(0) = 4, f(1) = 7

Answer 1

a linear function is of the form f(x) = ax + b

so we have

f(0)= a*0 + b = b = 4

and

f(1) = a*1 + b = a + 4 = 7

does that help?

Answer 2

So what represents what? Thank you btw! :D

Answer 3

so an example of a linear function would be f(x) = 5x +2

we have a number next to the x, which i call number "a"

and a number added on as a constant term, number "b"

f(x) = ax+b

x is the input of the function, we put a number x in, and get another number f(x) out

Answer 4

So how would I do that? Sorry, I'm just a little bit confused, I'm in 6th grade...

Answer 5

So if I had this problem:
g(–2) = 10
It would be:
g(-2)=m(-2)+b=10

Answer 6

When m=a

Answer 7

yeah thats correct, a lot of people use m instead of a and c instead of b

Answer 8

g(-2) = -2m + b

Answer 9

Okay, thanks very much! :D

Answer 10

no problem :)
