For this case we have the following expression:
For simplicity we follow the steps:
We apply distributive property to the terms within the parenthesis, bearing in mind that:
We add similar terms taking into account that equal signs are added and the same sign is placed, while different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed.

Answer:
1) The slope of the function is
and the slope of the function
is
.
2) The negative slope of the function shows that it is the line is increasing and the slope
of the function
shows that the line will always have the same y-coordinate.
3) The slope of the function is is greater than the slope of the function
.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise you need to know that the slope of any horizontal line is zero ()
The slope of a line can be found with the following formula:
You can observe in the graph of the function given in the exercise, that this is an horizontal line. Then, you can conclude that its slope is:
The steps to find the slope of the function shown in the table attached, are the following:
- Choose two points, from the table:
and
- You can say that:
- Substitute values into the formula :
- Finally, evaluating, you get:
Therefore:
1) The slope of the function is
and the slope of the function
is
.
2) The negative slope of the function shows that it is the line is increasing and the slope
of the function
shows that the line will always have the same y-coordinate.
3) The slope of the function is is greater than the slope of the function
.
