The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points A(-6, 6) and B(12, 3). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{3-6}{12-(-6)}=\dfrac{-3}{18}=-\dfrac{3:3}{18:3}=-\dfrac{1}{6}

Therefore we have y=-\dfrac{1}{6}x+b.

Put the coordinates of the point B to the equation:

3=-\dfrac{1}{6}(12)+b

3=-2+b          <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

5=b\to b=5

Answer:

m=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\b=5

x = –6

Solution:

Given expression is \sqrt[3]{x-2}+5=3.

Step 1: Isolate the radical by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation.

\Rightarrow\sqrt[3]{x-2}+5-5=3-5

\Rightarrow\sqrt[3]{x-2}=-2

Step 2: Cube both sides of the equation to remove the cube root.

\Rightarrow(\sqrt[3]{x-2})^3=(-2)^3

Cube and cube root get canceled in left side of the equation.

\Rightarrow\ x-2=-8

Step 3: To solve for x.

Add 2 on both sides of the equation.

\Rightarrow\ x-2+2=-8+2

\Rightarrow\ x=-6

Hence the solution is x = –6.
