The function f(x) goes down by two and over by one:
slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2.

The slope of f(x) is -2, while the slope of g(x) is -6.

Since -2 is a greater number than -6, the answer is:
C) <span>The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). </span>

You can calculate the slope of the function f(x) shwon in the graph with the formula:

                rise
slope = -------
              run

rise = change in y-direction = Δy

run = change in x - direction = Δx

                Δy      y2 - y1 [1 - 3]     - 2
slope =   ------ = --------- = -------- = ----- - 2
                Δx      x2 - x1    [1 - 0]       1

2) The slope of the funtion g(x) defined as - 6x - 5 is the coefficient of x, which is - 6.

So, compare: - 2 > - 6, i.e. the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x).

Anxwer: the slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

Alyssa is factoring the following expression p∆2-8p-9. She said the answer is (p-1) (p +9). Is she correct? If not, explain her

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2-8p-9

factor out the trinomial

(p-9)(p+1)

Therefore, she's incorrect. Because (p-1)(p+9)=p^2-p+9p-9=p^2+8p-9 and that's different from p^2-8p-9.
