Answer:

<h2>slope = -2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation:

y = -2x + 6

therefore

m = -2

b = 6

Consider the function below. f(x)= x^3 + 2x^2 - x - 2 plot the x and y intercepts of the function

dimulka [17.4K]

In the Figure below is shown the graph of this function. We have the following function:

$f(x)=x^3+2x^2-x-2$

The $y-intercept$ occurs when $x=0$ , so:

$f(0)=(0)^3+2(0)^2-(0)-2=-2$

Therefore, the $y-intercept$ is the given by the point:

$\boxed{(0,-2)}$

From the figure we have three $x-intercepts$ :

$\boxed{P_{1}(-2,0)} \\ \boxed{P_{2}(-1,0)} \\ \boxed{P_{3}(1,0)}$

So, the $x-intercepts$ occur when $y=0$ . Thus, proving this:

$f(x)=x^3+2x^2-x-2 \\ \\ For \ P_{1}:\\ If \ x=-2, \ y=(-2)^3+2(-2)^2-(-2)-2=0 \\ \\ For \ P_{2}:\\ If \ x=-1, \ y=(-1)^3+2(-1)^2-(-1)-2=0 \\ \\ For \ P_{3}:\\ If \ x=1, \ y=(1)^3+2(1)^2-(1)-2=0$
