Find the constants m and b in the linear function f (x) = mx+b so that f (7) = 10 and f has the slope of - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry I am not sure and I don't want to give you the wrong answer

m = - 7 and b = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

y = mx + b (m is the slope and b the y - intercept)

Here m = - 7, thus

f (x) = - 7x + b

To find b substitute (7, 10) into the equation, that is

10 = - 49 + b ⇒ b = 10 + 49 = 59

f (x) = - 7x + 59 ← equation of line
