What is the slope of the line through (1, -1)and (5,-7)
Choose 1

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for slope is y1-y2/x1-x2

where

y1 is the first point's y coordinate

x1 is the first point's x coordinate

y2 is the second point's y coordinate

x2 is the second point's y coordinate

so now we can plug our points in

-1-(-7)/1-5

6/-4

simplify

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the "Y" values from the ordered pairs   -1 - (-7)= 6

Subtract the "X" values from the ordered pairs   1-5 = -4

Remember slope is rise over run or y over x so the answer is -6/4 or -3/2 reduced

I always bring my negative to the top after I finish solving

Since you didn't provide the choices your answer is either going to be 3/-2  or -3/2 depending if your teacher makes you bring the negative to the top

step-by-step explanation:

answer: b. f(x) = (x + 2)^3 (x^2 - 7x + 3)^4

step-by-step explanation:

polynomials always have as many roots as their order. this is a 4th order polynomial- hence 4 roots!

complex roots of polynomials always come in pairs. the quadratic equation has the "+/-" in that will alwaysgenerate m+ni amd m-ni, so 7-2i must be a root of this polynomial equation.

the order of the numerator and denominator are both 2. so the horizontal asymptote is y=a2/b2 =7

verticle asymptotes are the forbidden x-values. f(x) becomes undefined at x=-3 because this value will cause a zero denominator.

a graph of r(x) will have vertical asymptotes at ±1 because these values will make the denominator zero. so the domain of the function cannot include ±1.

you 're wlecome! : )
