Understanding the Function f in Terms of b

The video tutorial explains how to derive a formula for the function f in terms of b, given the equation 4a + 7b = -52. It walks through the process of isolating the variable a by subtracting 7b from both sides and then dividing by 4. The final formula for f(b) is determined to be -13 - 7/4b, which allows for calculating the output a for any given input b.

What is the equation that the function f is based on?

• 4a + 7b = -52

• 5a + 8b = -60

• 2a + 6b = -30

• 3a + 5b = -40
