Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, I drawed this graph and uploaded it for you...
We know that a line equation is y = ax + b and I want to know which equation goes through the points (-1, -5) and (1, -1).
Let's put these points in the algebreac expression of line to find the correct equation:
-5 = a. (-1) + b
-1 = a.(1) + b
solving this system of equation by elimination, we find 2b = -6 and b = -3.
Then, -5 = -a + (-3)
-a = -5 + 3
a = 2
Finally, our line equation is y = 2x - 3
The slope also is represented by a. So, the slope is 2.

The answer to your question is:
Domain: (-∞, ∞)
Range: [10, ∞)
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Graph y = 5x² + 3x + 10
Process
As it is suggested, let's use a graphing calculator. But we can sketch that because it is a quadratic equation, then the graph will be a parabola that opens upwards.
See the graph below.
Domain: are the possible values of the independent variable.
Range: are the reslunting values of the dependent variable.
Then
Domain : (- ∞, ∞) It is an open interval because -∞ and ∞ are
not included.
Range : [10, ∞) It is close because 10 is included.
