The signs of the numbers in the problem matter because if a number is negative in the equation than you're answer could be negative. ex. -3/9= -3 but if the negative sign wasn't there than the answer would be wrong bc the answer would be positive.
hope thats what you need hope it helps.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The roots are the points on the x- axis where the graph crosses
The roots are (- 3, 0 ) or (1, 0 )
The turning point is at (- 1, - 4 ) ← where the graph turns
Is it any fraction? if so 6/16 and 2/8 are equivalent
Where the two lines intersect is your solution.
3=x1. 1=y1
2=x2. 5=y2
the formula to find slope is y2-y1 divided by x2-x1
so it would be 5-1 over 2-3 which would be 4/-2 and if you need it simplified it would be -2
