Answer:
-16
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function gives the positive value of the argument, so this is ...
-4|-4| = -4·4 = -16
The slope formula:

m - a slopeb - y-intercept
We have:

and point

Substitute:
Answer: A.
Answer:
M = -2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of a line when you know two points, use the following formula.
M = y₂ - y₁ ÷ x₂ - x₁
M = 9 - 11 ÷ -12 - (-17)
M = -2 ÷ 5
M = -2/5
Hope that helps.
(gof)(-3) means the composition of two functions at x = -3.
(gof)(-3) can also be expressed as g(f(-3))
So, first we find f(-3)
f(x) = x² + 5
f(-3) = 9 + 5 = 14
g(f(-3)) = g(14)
g(14) = (14+5)/14 = 19/14
Thus, option C gives the correct answer
The fraction is equivalent to 1/2 since you can simplify 4/8 as (4/4)/(8/4) = 1/2.
