<span>y=-4/x+1 is ambiguous, since it's not immediately clear whether you meant
-4
y = -4/x + 1 or y = ---------
x+1
I'm going to assume that the latter is what you meant.
1. Interchange x and y, obtaining:
-4
x = --------
y+1
2. Solve this for y, obtaining y+1 = -4/x, or xy + x = -4, or
-x - 4
xy = -x-4, or y = ---------
x
-1 -1 4
3. Replace y with f (x): f (x) = -1 - -----
x
This last result has the correct form.</span>
I think it's B because it's makes the most sense
Answer:
-1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
slope formula:
m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁
Two points are given:
(-5, -5) (5, -7)
m = -7 - (-5) / 5 - (-5)
m = -2 / 10
m = -1/5
