For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

m = \frac {y2-y1} {x2-x1}

We have to:

(x1, y1) = (2, -6)\\(x2, y2) = (- 3,1)

Substituting in the given expression we have:

m = \frac {1 - (- 6)} {- 3-2}\\m = \frac {1 + 6} {- 3-2}\\m = \frac {7} {- 5}\\m = - \frac {7} {5}

Answer:

m = - \frac {7} {5}

Answer:

The slope is m=-\frac{7}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is given by the formula;

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The given line contains;the points (2, -6) and (-3, 1).

m=\frac{1--6}{-3-2}

m=\frac{1+6}{-3-2}

m=\frac{7}{-5}

The slope is m=-\frac{7}{5}

If 1 and -1 are the zeroes of the polynomial p(x) = ax 3 + x 2 − 2x + b, find the values of a and b
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

<h2>              a = 2,    b = -1  </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = ax³ + x² - 2x + b

p(1) = a(1)³ + 1² - 2•1 + b = a + 1 - 2 + b = a + b - 1

a + b - 1 = 0  ⇒   b = 1 - a

p(-1) = a(-1)³ + (-1)² - 2(-1) + b = -a + 1 + 2 + b = - a + b + 3

- a + b + 3 = 0    ∧   b = 1 - a

- a + (1 - a) + 3 = 0

- a + 1 - a + 3 = 0

-2a + 4 = 0

-2a = -4

 <u>a = 2</u>

<u>b = 1 - 2 = -1</u>

Approximate: log 5 ^4/7
wolverine [178]

Do you mean the following:

log(5^(4/7))=around 0.4

log(5)^(4/7)=around 0.815

log(5^4)/7= same thing as top one

log((5^4)/7)=around 1.95
