To find values for both a and b, we can use the given equation -5 = a(1) + b and substitute the given values for x and g(x).
When x = 1, g(1) = -5.
Plugging these values into the equation, we get -5 = a(1) + b.
Since a(1) equals a, the equation becomes -5 = a + b.
To find a value for a and b that satisfies this equation, one possible solution would be a = 0 and b = -5.
Therefore, a = 0 and b = -5 is one value for both a and b.
-5 = a (1) + b
Give me one value for both a and b
x = 1,3,5
g(x) = -5, -13, -21
