Math Problem Statement

Given g(x)= -4x-4, find g(-2)

Solution

To find g(2)g(-2) for the function g(x)=4x4g(x) = -4x - 4, substitute 2-2 into the equation:

g(2)=4(2)4g(-2) = -4(-2) - 4

Calculating this step-by-step:

  1. 4×2=8-4 \times -2 = 8
  2. 84=48 - 4 = 4

Thus, g(2)=4g(-2) = 4.

  2. How do you find the x-intercept of g(x)g(x)?
  3. What would g(0)g(0) be for this function?
  4. How does the slope of the line affect its graph?
  5. Can you explain the concept of linear functions?

Tip: Always check the calculations by substituting the value back into the function.
