Answer:

The slope of the line segment is $m=-\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

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

we have the points

(2,-5) and (-1, -1)

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-1+5}{-1-2}$

$m=\frac{4}{-3}$

$m=-\frac{4}{3}$

What are the solutions for x to the equation (x-3)(x+8)=0

hichkok12 [17]

For this case we have a factored expression, of a second degree equation:

( $(x-3) (x + 8) = 0$

To find the solutions:

$x-3 = 0$

we add 3 to both sides of the equation:

$x=3$

$x+8=0$

We subtract 8 on both sides of the equation:

$x = -8$

Thus, the solutions of the equation are:

$x_ {1} = 3\\x_ {2} = - 8$

Answer:

$x_ {1} = 3\\x_ {2} = - 8$
