a) We are given a function
y = 5x - 7
when x = 4, then
y = 5 (4) - 7
y = 13
b) When the input is -1,
y = 5x - 7
y = 5 (-1) - 7
y = -5 - 7
y = - 13
And, when input is 1
y = 5x - 7
y = 5(1) - 7
y = 5 - 7
y = -2
c) To produce the output -17, the input of the function will be,
-17 = 5x - 7
-17 + 7 = 5x
-10 = 5x
x = -2
Therefore, the input of the function must be -2 to get the output -17
