We'll recall which is the standard form of a linear
function;
f(x) = ax + b
To
determine the linear function, we'll have to identify the coefficients a and
b.
Since we know the result of f(1-x), we'll replace x by
(1-x) in the standard form:
f(1-x) = a(1-x) +
b
f(1-x) = a - ax + b (1)
But,
from enunciation, we know that f(1-x) = 3x+2 (2)
We'll
equate (1) and (2) and we'll get:
-ax + a + b = 3x +
2
Comparing, we'll get:
-a = 3
=> a = -3
a + b = 2 <=> -3 + b = 2
=> b = 5
The requested linear function
is f(x) = -3x + 5.
