To find slope use the formula M = y2 - y1
-----------
x2 - y1
say you were given this (2,3) (-4,5) 2 would be x1 and 3 would be y1, -4 would be x2 and 5 would be y2 then just put it into the formula 5 - 3
--------
-4 - 2
which would be 2/ -6 which would simplify to 1/3
F(2)= (2)+1/4(2)-2
F(2)=3/6
F(2)= 1/2
f(x) increase by a factor of 3
Explanation:
Given that f(x)= 3* and the interval is x=4 to x=57
Now we put the value for x is 4 to 57 then value of f(x) increase with the multiply of 3.
Because the x is multiplied with 3 i.e., 3*
So f(x) increase by a factor of 3.
If we put x=4, then f(x)= 12 (∵ 3×4=12)
If we put x=5, the f(x)= 15 (∵ 3×5=15)
If we put x=6,the f(x)= 18 (∵ 3×6=18)
similarly., values of x= 7,8,9,...155.
Then,
If we put x=56, the f(x)=168
This process will continue until f(x)=171 for x=57.
