To find slope, use the equation:
slope = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}<span>
<span>where x_{2} and y_{2} are the x and y values of one coordinate point, and x_{1} and y_{1} are the x and y values of another coordinate point . Since we are given two coordinate points, that means we can find the slope using the slope equation.

</span></span>

Let's choose (6, 0) as your (x_{2},&#10;y_{2}) point and (0, -2) as your (x_{1}, y_{1}) point, but you can switch those if you want! That makes x_{2} = 6, y_{2} = 0 and x_{1} = 0, y_{1} = -2. Plug these values into the slope equation and simplify:

\frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\&#10; = \frac{ 0 - (-2) }{6-0} \\&#10; = \frac{2}{6} \\&#10;=  \frac{1}{3}

Answer: Slope = \frac{1}{3}

Sati [7]

Answer:

Answers are:  (x+3)(x+5) = 0

So first zero:  x+3 = 0  so x = -3

Second zero: x+5 = 0 so x = -5

so zeros are: x = -5 and -3

Fir what values of p will the equation x^2=p have 1 real number solution why
Naddika [18.5K]

The only value of p for which the equation has exactly 1 real number solution is p=0.


If p<0, there are no real number solutions and if p>0, there are 2 real number solutions.


Hope this helps,

Brian
