Try writing it in point-slope form and you will see why you have a problem.

slope m is equal to (y2-y1)/(x2-x1):

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (2-6)/(-6 - -6) = -4/0

The denominator has a zero, so it is undefined.

Since the point-slope form requires "m" to be defined, you can't write the equation of the line using point-slope form.

F(x) = 3/(x + 2) - sqrt(x - 3) complete the following statement: f(19)=
liberstina [14]

Answer:

f(19)=3/21-4=-3.857

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3/(x+2)-sqrt(x-3)

f(19)=3/(19+2)-sqrt(19-3)

f(19)=3/21-sqrt(16)

f(19)=3/21-4

f(19)=-3.857
