for some real number A, the graph of the line Y=(A+1)x+8 in the standard (x,y) coordinate plane passes through (2,6). What is th
e slope of this line?
1 answer:
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation has a y-intercept of 8, so goes through the point (0, 8).
If the line also goes through the point (2, 6) it has a slope of ...
(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) = (6 -8)/(2 -0) = -2/2 = -1
The slope of the line is -1.
_____
The value of A is -2.

I'd say an outlier. P is separated noticably from the other points and would not considerably affect the slope of the line
I can't see the whole graph
D I’ve had this and d was right for me
