Answer:

asymptotes: x = -4, x = 4
zeros: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical asymptotes of the rational expression are the places where the denominator is zero:

x^2 -16 = 0

(x -4)(x +4) = 0 . . . . . true for x=4, x=-4

x = 4, x = -4 are the equations of the vertical asymptotes

The zeros of a rational expression are the places where the numerator is zero:

4x = 0

x = 0 . . . . . . divide by 4

Find the slope of the line that passes through (6, 7) and (2, 10). and simplify if needed thx guys.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for finding the slope of a line when given two points is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ , aka the change in y over the change in x.

pick one of your coordinate pairs to be $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ . it doesn't matter which coordinate pair you choose as long as you keep them as $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ . the remaining coordinate pair will be $y_1$ and $x_1$ .

for this example, i'll use (2, 10) for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ and (6, 7) for $y_1$ and $x_1$ .

**before i begin, i just want to note that you can do these next four steps in any order that you want. i personally prefer to plug in my y-values first and then my x-values, but you can choose to instead plug in the values of each coordinate pair (like starting by plugging in the coordinate pair (2, 10) with 10 for $y_2\\$ and 2 for $x_2$ ). it's up to you. i'm going to explain the steps by plugging in my y-values first and then my x-values because that's the way i normally do it.

first, start by plugging in the y-value from the coordinate pair of your choosing in for $y_2\\$ . since i chose (2, 10) for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ , i'll plug in 10 for $y_2\\$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

then plug in the remaining coordinate pair's y-value in for $y_1$ . since the coordinate pair that's left is (6, 7), i will plug in 7 for $y_1$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{x_2-x_1}$

now i'm going to plug in the x-values. i chose (2, 10) to plug in for $y_2\\$ and $x_2$ , so now i'll plug in 2 for $x_2$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{2-x_1}$

and all that's left to plug in is the x-value from (6, 7), so i will plug that in for $x_1$ .

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ⇒ $\frac{10-7}{2-6}$

after plugging in all the values, you have $\frac{10-7}{2-6}$ .

subtract 10 - 7 as well as 2 - 6.

$\frac{10-7}{2-6}$ ⇒ $\frac{3}{-4}$

$\frac{3}{-4}$ cannot be simplified, therefore the slope of the line is $\frac{3}{-4}$ or $-\frac{3}{4}$ .

i hope this helps! have a lovely day <3
