Answer

$f(x)=5$

Work Step by Step

We can rewrite $f(-3)=5$ as $(-3,5)$ and $f(-1)=5$ as $(-1,5)$. The slope of the line that passes through $(-3,5)$ and $(-1,5)$ is $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{5-5}{-1-(-3)}=0$ Equation of the line is $y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ $\implies y-5=0(x-(-3))$ $\implies y=5$ A function is $f(x)=5$.
