Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is the same everywhere, so an equation can be written making use of that fact.

Cross-multiplying gives ...
2(y -5) = x -2
2y -10 = x -2 . . . eliminate parentheses
2y = x +8 . . . . . . . add 10; next, divide by 2

These equations match choices B and D.

We have that
f(x) = (x – 5)³(x + 2)²
we know that
<span>the roots can touch or cross the x axis
</span>The way you can tell if the graph is going to cross the x-axis or just touch the x-axis is by looking at the power of the factor.
(x - 5)³ has a power of 3 which is an ODD number. An ODD power means that the graph will cross through the x-axis.
(x + 2)² has a power of 2 which is an EVEN number. An EVEN power means that the graph will touch the x-axis.
therefore
the answer is<span>
the graph of f(x) touch the x axis for the root x=-2
