To find a linear function \( f(x) \), you'll want to determine the slope \( m \) first. You can calculate it using the points given: \( (-3, 5) \) and \( (6, 11) \). The slope \( m \) is calculated as: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{11 - 5}{6 - (-3)} = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}. \] Now, you can use the point-slope form of the equation \( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \) with either point. Let's use \( (-3, 5) \): \[ f(x) - 5 = \frac{2}{3}(x + 3). \] Simplifying this gives: \[ f(x) = \frac{2}{3}x + 7. \] And there you have it, \( f(x) = \frac{2}{3}x + 7 \) is your linear function! Now, if you're feeling like a mathematician, you can easily test the function's accuracy with the original values. Plug in \( -3 \) and \( 6 \) and confirm that you retrieve \( 5 \) and \( 11 \) respectively. It's like giving your math a little friendly check-up!
