Answer :

The linear function that contains the points (0,3) and (-1,5) is given by:

y = -2x + 3.

What is the missing information?


The graph is not given and I couldn't find the problem on a search engine, hence I am going to suppose that two points on the graph are (0,3) and (-1,5).

You can select the value of y when the function crosses the y-axes(y-intercept) and another point and follow the same procedure I am going to do here.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled in slope-intercept form by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

For this problem, we have that when x = 0, y = 3, hence the slope is of b = 3. When x = -1, y = 5, hence the slope(change in y divided by change in x) is given by:

(3 - 5)/(0 - (-1)) = -2.

Hence the function is:

y = -2x + 3.
