The function f(x) is linear. If f(2016) - f(2004) = 5, then find f(2012) - f(1184).
We know that we can find the slope as
[ f (2016) - f ( 2004) ] 5
__________________ = ____
2016 - 2004 12
So....this implies that
[ f (2012 ) - f (1184) ] 5
__________________ = _____
2012 - 1184 12
[ f(2012) - f(1184) 5
________________ = ___ multiply both sides by 28
28 12
5 (28) 35
f (2012) - f (1184) = ______ = ______
12 3
