Answer:
Please see below :)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is just what's in front of the x!
So:
1.) slope = -1/4
2.) slope = undefined
3.) slope = -9
4.) slope = 9/2
Hope this helps!
Answer:
the right answer is x(x+2)
if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation

now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.
well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys
-4------------(-1)------------2
so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.
The answer is 1/4.
(n+9)/4(n+9)=1/4
