To find the slope of this line, I will show you the graphing method.

To find the slope of the line using the graphing method, we first set up a coordinate system like I have done for you below.

Next, we plot our two points.

Start by plotting (-8, -6) which we label point A and (2, -3) which

we label point B and we graph our line through the two points.

Next, remember that the slope or <em>m</em> is equal

to the rise/run from point A to point B.

To get from point A to point B, we rise 3 units and run 10 units.

So our slope or rise/run is 3/10.

How to find the maximum or minimum value of a quadratic function?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Vertex form

Step-by-step explanation:

You convert to vertex form a(x - b)^2 + c . The coordinates of the maxm/minm will be (b, c).

For example find minimum value of x^2 + 5x - 6:-

x^2 + 5x - 6

= (x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 - 6

= (x + 2.5)^2 - 12.25

The coordinates of minimumm will be (-2.5, -12.25) The values of the minimum of the function is -12.25

3x3-27x=0<br> Solve by factoring a

Eddi Din [679]

After factoring $3x^3-27x=0$ the solutions are x=0 , x=3, x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve by factoring:

$3x^3-27x=0$

Solving:

$3x^3-27x=0$

Taking 3x common:

$3x(x^2-9)=0$

Now using formula $a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$

$3x((x)^2-(3)^2)=0\\3x(x-3)(x+3)=0$

$3x=0\,\,and\,\,x+3=0\,\,and\,\,x-3=0\\x=0\,\,and\,\,x=-3\,\,and\,\,x=3\\$

So, After factoring $3x^3-27x=0$ the solutions are x=0 , x=3, x= -3

Multiply the following complex numbers:<br>(7-3i)(8 + 4i)

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Noting that i² = - 1

Given

(7 - 3i)(8 + 4i) ← expand factors using FOIL

= 56 + 28i - 24i - 12i²

= 56 + 4i - 12(- 1)

= 56 + 4i + 12

= 68 + 4i → A
