C should be the correct answer
<u>Answer:</u>
y=-1/4x-1
<u>How to find the </u><u>slope</u>
To find the slope of the line you need to do the change in y/change in x. This is also known as the rise/run. To do this you count the spaces in between the two points.
In this graph the change in y (rise) is 2. The change in x (run) is 8. Since the line is going down they are negative. The rise/run is -2/8. This can be simplified to -1/4.
Slope: -1/4x
<u>How to find the y-intercept</u>
To find the y-intercept, you need to look at where the line crosses y.
In this graph the line crosses y at -1.
Y-intercept: -1
<u>Final</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>/</u><u>4x-1</u>
Adding together the shorter two sides results in 17 m. If these two sides were laid end to end, the sum of their sides (17 m) would be less than the length of the third side. Thus, NO triangle could be constructed with this set of line segments.
2x^3 + 2x^2 + 5x + 1/ x^2
