If $f$ is a linear function, $f(0.1)=11.5, \text{ and} f(0.4)=–5.9,$ find an equation for the function.

Graph the function $f$ on a domain of $\left[–10, 10\right]: f(x)=0.02x-\mathrm{0.01.}$ Enter the function in a graphing utility. For the viewing window, set the minimum value of $x$ to be $-10$ and the maximum value of $x$ to be $10.$
