<h3>
Answer: -4</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
We can pick any two rows from the table to get the (x,y) points needed to find the slope.
Let's say we pick the second and third rows
Subtract the y values: 14-6 = 8
Subtract the x values in the same order: 1-3 = -2
Divide the differences: 8/(-2) = -4
The slope is -4
--------------------------------------------------
You can use the slope formula
Let's say the points are (x1,y1) = (1,14) and (3,6)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (6-14)/(3-1)
m = -8/2
m = -4
It's the same basic idea as the previous section. You subtract the y values together (y2-y1) and the x values together (x2-x1) and divide the differences to get m. The order of subtraction doesn't matter as long as you stay consistent. If you do something like y2-y1 and x1-x2, then you'll get the wrong slope value.
Answer:
degree of polynomial = 5
leading term = 
leading coefficient = 2
constant term = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) The degree of the polynomial = 5. That is, the highest power of x
(ii) Leading term = . This is the term with the highest power of x.
(iii) Leading Coefficient = 2. That is, the coefficient of the leading term ()
(iv) Constant term = -6. This is the term that is independent of x or the term in which x doesn't appear.
