There are different types of equations of lines.
There are these three main forms, but I'll focus on just 2:

Slope-Intercept Form:
y = mx + b

Where,
"m" = slope
"b" = y-intercept

Point-Slope Form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where,
"m" = slope
"y1" = A y point on the graph
"x1" = A x point on the graph that correlates with the y value.

y = 6x - 12

Is in the same form of Slope-Intercept:

So,

y = 6x - 12

m = 6
b = -12

So our slope is,
6

Keep in mind if it was a fraction (Example: 6/5, then the slope is 6/5) the slope will be the entire fraction.

Also remember slope is the RISE over the RUN meaning it is the y value over the x value. So in this case we would go UP 6 and right 1 (because 6 is understood as 6/1).

considering the leading term of the polynomial function. what is the end behavior of the graph? describe the end behavior and pr

mario62 [17]

The leading term of polynomial function is the the term contain highest degree so here in the given question leading term is $-3x^5$

and leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with greatest exponent -3

RULES for End behaviour

we have following four cases

CASE1: Even degree and positive leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

CASE2: Even degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

CASE3: Odd degree and positive leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow \infty$

CASE4: Odd degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $x\rightarrow \infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

Here in the given case we have odd degree and negative leading coefficient

$x\rightarrow -\infty$ $x\rightarrow -\infty$

$x\rightarrow \infty$ $f(x)\rightarrow -\infty$

This set notation really seems the hard way to exclude a single value. Anyway...

The domain doesn't include where the denominator is zero, 4x + 7 = 0,

x = -7/4

The range doesn't include the asymptotic value, which is

y=2x/4x = 1/2

So we need domain x ≠ -7/4 and range y ≠ 1/2
