The formula of a slope:
We have the points (-8, -20) and (5, 2). Substitute:
Answer: The slope is 
Please, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: p(t) = t^2 + 5t + 6.
To find the critical points, differentiate p(t) with respect to t, set the result = to 0, and then solve the resulting equation for t:
p '(t) = 2t + 5 = 0
Solving for t: 2t = -5, and so t = -5/2. (-5/2, p(-5/2)) is the critical point. That evaluates to (-5/2, -0.25). This happens to be the vertex of a parabola that opens up.
