Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The number c is not a root/zero of f(x). If it were, then f(c) would = 0 (that is, the remainder would be zero.
Would it not be 4:5 as a ratio?
(how many more needed) divided by (how many innings left)
17-6=11
4 left
11/4=2.75
needs to score 2.75 per inning (even though you can't score 0.75 point)
First find the slope
Slope formula: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-4-(-6))/(-2-2) = 2/-4 = -1/2
Slope intercept formula: y = mx + b
Y = -1/2x + b (solve for b)
Plug in any point
-6 = -1/2(2) + b
-6 = -1 + b, b = -5
Solution: y = -1/2x - 5
