Thank you Stefy.
And there was me, about to award you the "Teacher of the Month Award"

I hope you are kidding.

]]>You have -2 -> 3 and 8 -> 5 so call x=-2 and y =3 in the first equation and x = 8 and y = 5 in the second.
When you solve that you get m = 1/5 and b = 17 / 5. Now plug in to the first equation.

]]>Bob explained very well in post #9. I don't think I could any better at explaining it.
]]>My answer used a similar idea but I think his is the right way.
If you think about the straight line graph this produces, every point between -2 and 8, will map onto every point between 3 and 5
And the mapping is reversible.
To prove it, you'd have to show the mapping is 1:1 in both direcctions, and that a point inside the first interval maps to a point inside the resulting interval.

I'll leave the post as a reminder to me to read the question!
