The value of n is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that f(x) is a linear function and we are asked to find the value of n from the provided table.

x            f(x)

-4          -25

-1            -10

n             20

First of all we will find the slope of the given using our given points (-4,-25) and (-1,-10) in slope formula.

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Upon substituting coordinates of our given points we will get,

m = -10--25/-1--4

m = -10+25/-1+4

m = 15/3

m = 5

Since we know that the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b,where, m= Slope and b= y-intercept.

Upon substituting m = 5 in slope-intercept form of equation we will get,

y = 5x + b

Now let us find y-intercept by substituting coordinates of one point in our given line.

-10 = 5(-1) + b

-10 = -5 + b

-10 + 5 = -5 + 5 + b

-5 = b

y = 5x - 5

Now let us find value of n by substituting x = n and y = 20 in our equation.

20 = 5 * n - 5

20 + 5 = 5 * n - 5 + 5

25 = 5 * n

25/5 = 5 * n/5

5 = n

Therefore, the value of n is 5.

the answer is:

mean: 6

mad: 2.14
