Fill in the Blanks Complete the steps that are required to write a linear function in the form f(x) = mx + b whose graph satisfies the given criteria. Passes through (5, -2) and (-6, 4) Answer: (Enter the simplified function with no blank spaces. Use / to enter fractions.) Hint Find the slope between the two points. Be careful with signs. Then substitute a point and the slope in the point-slope form. Use the / to enter a fraction. Do not insert spaces in your answer.
