Question

the graph of $y = f(x)$ is shown below. which point could be used to find $f(5)$? answer a d c b

Explanation:

Step1: Recall function notation

For a function \( y = f(x) \), \( f(5) \) means we need the \( y \)-value when \( x = 5 \). So we look for the point with \( x \)-coordinate 5.

Step2: Identify the point with \( x = 5 \)

Looking at the graph, point A has an \( x \)-coordinate of 5 (since it's at \( (5, -3) \) approximately, but the key is the \( x \)-value is 5). Points B, C, D have \( x \)-values -6, -3, 3 respectively, which are not 5.

Answer:

A. Point A
