Question

How do you find `g(-1)` given `g(x)=-5x+2`?

Answer 1

`g(-1)=7`

Explanation:

Simply substitute the value of `-1` given. In other words, `g(-1)` is the function of `g(x)`, however in this case, `x` is `-1`

`g(-1)=-5(-1)+2`

Distribute `5` through the parenthesis

`g(-1)=5+2`

Simplify

`g(-1)=7`
