What is the slope of the line conaning the points (-3,4)and(2,1)

olya-2409 [2.1K]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ -3 &,& 4~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ 2 &,& 1~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-4}{2-(-3)}\implies \cfrac{1-4}{2+3}\implies \cfrac{-3}{5}$

Answer:

$-3x^2+29x-150+\frac{946x^2-341x-756}{x^3+6x^2-3x-5}$ is the answer. See steps below.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:leading\:coefficients\:of\:the\:numerator\:}\\\\-3x^5+11x^4+33x^3-26x^2-36x-6\\\\\mathrm{and\:the\:divisor\:}x^3+6x^2-3x-5:\\\\\mathrm{Quotient}=\frac{-3x^5}{x^3}=-3x^2\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:}x^3+6x^2-3x-5\mathrm{\:by\:}-3x^2\:\:\rightarrow\:\:-3x^5-18x^4+9x^3+15x^2\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}-3x^5-18x^4+9x^3+15x^2\mathrm{\:from\:}-3x^5+11x^4+33x^3-26x^2-36x-6\mathrm{\:to\:get\:new\:remainder}.\\\\\mathrm{Remainder}=29x^4+24x^3-41x^2-36x-6$
