Yeah, I feel the same. I believe f(3) should be between f(2) and f(5).

This question is tricky! I think I need to remember the formula for linear interpolation.

I think I recall that the formula is f(x) = f(a) + (f(b) - f(a)) * (x - a) / (b - a). I hope I got that right!

I feel a bit confused about which values to plug into the formula. Is it just the two points given?

This seems similar to a practice question we did last week. I think I need to find the slope first, right?

I remember we practiced linear interpolation in class, but I'm not entirely sure how to set up the formula correctly.
