Step-by-step explanation:
to solve for a,
f(-1) = 5
a(-1)^2 + 1 = 5
a + 1 = 5, so a=4
The slope is 2/3 because 3 - 1 = 2 and 0 - -3 = 3
Answer:
-1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
let's put the function in slope intercept form (y = mx + b).
x + 5y = 10
y = - (1/5)x + 2
when the function is in slope intercept form, (m) is the rate of change or the slope.
therefore, the rate of change -1/5
