Answer
$f(-3) = -\dfrac{16}{5}; \quad f(0) = -2; \quad f(1) = -\dfrac{8}{5}$
Work Step by Step
To find $f(-3)$, we plug in $-3$ for $x$ into the equation:
$f(-3) = \frac{2}{5}(-3) - 2$
$f(-3) = -\frac{6}{5} - 2$
$f(-3) = -\frac{6}{5} - \frac{10}{5}$
$f(-3) = -\frac{16}{5}$
To find $f(0)$, we plug in $0$ for $x$ into the equation:
$f(0) = \frac{2}{5}(0) - 2$
$f(0) = 0 - 2$
$f(0) = -2$
To find $f(1)$, we plug in $1$ for $x$ into the equation:
$f(1) = \frac{2}{5}(1) - 2$
$f(1) = \frac{2}{5} - 2$
$f(1) = \frac{2}{5} - \frac{10}{5}$
$f(1) = -\frac{8}{5}$
