What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (5, -11) and (-9, 17)?
a) -2
b) -
1
2
c) 7
d) 2

The slope is: A. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points: (5, -11), (-9, 17)

Use the equation for slope:

m = y - y1 / x - x1

m = -11 - 17 / 5 - (-9)

m = -28 / 14

m = -2

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)

3.how is solving radical equations different than solving linear equations?

step-by-step explanation:

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
