Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Factor theorem.

If (x + h) is a factor of f(x) then f(- h) = 0

for factor (x + 3) then evaluate P(- 3)

P(- 3) = (- 3)³ - 5(- 3)² + 3(- 3) + 9 = - 27 - 45 - 9 + 9 = - 72

since f(- 3) ≠ 0 then (x + 3) is not a factor of P(x)

What is the slope of 4x+5y= -10

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$-\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, rearrange the equation to y=mx+b or y=mx+c.

$4x+5y=-10$

Subtract 4x from both sides:

$5y=-10-4x$

Divide 5 on both sides:

$y=\frac{-10-4x}{5}$

$y=-\frac{4}{5} x-2$

In the equation of y=mx+b/y=mx+c, m will be the slope.

Therefore, the slope is $-\frac{4}{5}$
