The average slope (s) on the interval [a, b] is given by
s = (f(b) -f(a))/(b -a)
When there are a lot of computations to do, it is convenient to let a machine do them. The intervals and slopes are ...
[0, 5] : 5
[-3, 3] : 0
[-5, 3] : -2
[-3, 5] : 2
Answer:
y = 6/(x - 8).
Step-by-step explanation:
z = k/y where k is a constant
2 = k/3
k = 6.
So z = 6/y
and x = 6/y + 8
Multiply through by y:
xy = 6 + 8y
xy - 8y = 6
y(x - 8) = 6
y = 6/(x - 8)
