Answer:
Option D. Slope is 1 if the line is vertical
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
Part A) Slope is a measure of the steepness of the line
The statement is true
Because, the steepness of a line is measured by the absolute value of the slope.
Part B) Slope is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change
The statement is true
Because the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
so
Is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change
Part C) Slope is zero if the line is horizontal
The statement is true
Because If the line is horizontal, the y-coordinate of two points is the same
therefore
The vertical change is equal to zero
Part D) Slope is 1 if the line is vertical
The statement is Not true
Because, if the line is vertical the slope is undefined
The function is

To find the x-intercepts, we need to factorize the function. A very good idea is to first try the factors of 36:
f(1)=1-11+36-36, not 0
f(2)=8-44+72-36=-36+72-36=0. Here we have our first root (2).
Now we cad divide f(x) by (x-2) which will give us a quadratic expression, which we can factorize easily (if the discriminant is non negative).
We can also try some other factors of 36. Indeed we can check that
f(3)=27-99+108-36=135-135=0,
and
f(6)=216-396+216-36=0.
Thus, f(x)=(x-2)(x-3)(x-6). Note that if we expanded the right hand side expression, the constant term would be the product of the constants 2, 3, 6.
This is the reason why in the first place we looked at the factors of 36 for the possible zeros of f(x).
Thus, the x-intercepts are (2, 0), (3, 0), (6, 0), or 2, 3, 6.
The y-intercept is f(0), which is -36.
Note that f(0)<f(2) because f(0)=-36 and f(2)=0. This means that at the left side, the graph is coming from - infinity. Similarly,
we can check that f(10)=1000-1100+360-36=224> f(6). That is, to the right of our rightmost root, the graph is getting larger.
Thus, the end behaviors are: the graph goes to + infinity as x goes to + infinity,
and it goes to minus infinity as x goes to - infinity.
