The table represents the function f (x) = StartFraction x Over 2 EndFraction minus 3.

A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 8, negative 3, 2, 5. Column 2 is labeled f (x) with negative 7, negative 4.5, negative 2, blank.

Which value goes in the empty cell?
–1.5
–1
–0.5
0.5

Answer 1

f(5) = 5/2 − 3 = 2.5 − 3 = −0.5

So the empty cell is −0.5.
