I’m not 100% sure but isn’t it x2 +xy +y2?
Answer:
slope = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
given f(4) = 6 and f(- 2) = 8 , then 2 points on the line are
(4, 6 ) and (- 2, 8 )
calculate slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, 8 )
m = 
= 
= -
M= 20 because the rate of change is -3.
0.1, guessing they mean largest in value
The final steps is to review your results.
This means that you have to check if the results meet the original requirements or statements.
Ideally, you should try to solve the same problem by a second method, and/or you should substitute the results into the given relationships given in the problem statement to chek coherence of your results.
Then the answer is option b.
