If f(1)=-2 & f'(x)_< 1.8 for 1_< x_< 8, what is the largest possible value of f(8)?

Can someone help me on this question and plz provid me some calculation for this question.

the largest value for f(8) would be where the slope is a maximum (1.8) for 1<=x<=8.

That would be the line
(y+2)/(x-1) = 1.8
y = 1.8x - 3.8
f(8) = 10.6
