In order to figure this out you need to use
Descartes Rule. I attached a picture showing Descartes Rule. If the signs changes for when x is positive then the number of times it changes are the possible positive solution. If the sign changes when x is negative then the number of times it changes are the possible negative solutions. With that said the answer is A. View the picture I have attached for the possible + - and imaginary solutions.
Answer = A) One possible positive solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a linear equation in slope intercept form which is

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The equation

Has a slope of -1/3 so this means that the slope will be decreasing. A negative linear equation increases as we go left. and decreases as we go right. The y intercept is 2. So this means the graph must pass through (0,2) and when x=0, y must be 2.
In other words, look for a line that the y values increase as we go left and decrease we go right. Also look for a point (0,2) and make sure the graph pass through it.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for slope is [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].
3-2/9-8

Altho' I can easily guess what you're supposed to do here, I must point out that you haven't included the instructions for this problem.
I'll help you by example. Let's look at the first problem:
"Evaluate 6(z-1) at z-4."
Due to "order of operations" rules, we must do the work inside the parentheses FIRST. Replace the z inside (z-1) with "-4". We obtain
6(-4-1) = 6(-5) = -30 (answer.)
Your turn. Try the next one. If it's unclear, as questions.
