Question

label the corresponding number below with the value of the function at the given value of x.
$f(x) = -5x + 9$
$f(-6) = $
$f(2) = $
$f(5) = $

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute $x=-6$ into $f(x)$

$f(-6) = -5(-6) + 9$

Step2: Calculate $f(-6)$

$f(-6) = 30 + 9 = 39$

Step3: Substitute $x=2$ into $f(x)$

$f(2) = -5(2) + 9$

Step4: Calculate $f(2)$

$f(2) = -10 + 9 = -1$

Step5: Substitute $x=5$ into $f(x)$

$f(5) = -5(5) + 9$

Step6: Calculate $f(5)$

$f(5) = -25 + 9 = -16$

Answer:

$f(-6)=39$
$f(2)=-1$
$f(5)=-16$
