Answer:
<h2>B) the slope for triangle P and Q equal to 2.</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the defined as the ratio between the change of y-variable and x-variable. Its formula is
Now, we have to use to points and this formula to find the slope.
We are gonna use points
So, the slope is 2.
Therefore, the true statement about the slope is B.

Answer:
(x-2)(x+3)(x+6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the polynomial function p(x)=x^3+7x^2-36
We are to write it as a product of its linear factor
Assuming the value of x that will make the polynomial p(x) to be zero
Let x = 2
P(2) = 2³+7(2)²-36
P(2) = 8+7(4)-36
P(2) = 8+28-36
P(2) = 0
Since p(2) = 0 hence x-2 is one of the linear factors
Also assume x = -3
P(-3) = (-3)³+7(-3)²-36
P(-3) = -27+7(9)-36
P(-3) = -27+63-36
P(-3) = 36-36
P(-3) = 0
Since p(-3) = 0, hence x+3 is also a factor
The two linear pair are (x-2)(x+3)
(x-2)(x+3) = x²+3x-2x-6
(x-2)(x+3) = x²+x-6
To get the third linear function, we will divide x^3+7x^2-36 by x²+x-6 as shown in the attachment.
x^3+7x^2-36/x²+x-6 = x+6
Hence the third linear factor is x+6
x^3+7x^2-36 = (x-2)(x+3)(x+6)
