Answer:
fourth option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 7)
To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is
(x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 7) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7
x- intercepts are (- 1, 0 ), (- 4, 0 ), (7, 0 )
-1
Slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
= (2 - 1) / (1 - 2)
= -1
