If f(x) is a linear function, what is the value of n?

Option C. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since f(x) is a linear function then we can rewrite the function in the form of an equation y = mx + c

where m is the slope of a line.

Since line passes through two points (3, 7), (9, 16)

Therefore m = (16 - 7)/(9 - 3) = 9/6 = 3/2

Now we know a point (16, 26.5) also lie on the line so by putting the values of m, x, and y in the equation.

y = 3x/2 + c

26.5 = 3×16/2 + c

c = 26.5 - 24 = 2.5

So the equation is y = 3x/2 + 5/2

y = 1/2(3x + 5)

If a point (7, n) lies on the line then

n = 1/2(3×7 + 5) = 1/2(21 + 5) = 26/2 = 13

Therefore n = 13 is the answer.

answer is 144
