Answer:

y = (-1/2)x

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from (-4, 2) to (6, -3), x (the "run") increases by 10 and y (the "rise") decreases by 5.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise / run = m = -5/10, or m = -1/2.

We adapt the slope-intercept form as follows:  y = mx + b becomes

2 = (-1/2)(-4) + b, or

2 = 2 + b.  Therefore, b must be 0.  The desired eequation is y = (-1/2)x.

Find the difference quotient of f(x)=5x+4
Aleonysh [2.5K]
The differnce quotient is basically taking the derivitive (result will be f'(x)=5, but anyway)

here is the disffernce quotient
lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

so
for your equation
lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{(5(x+h)+4)-(5x+4)}{h}
lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{5x+5h+4-5x-4}{h}
lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{5h}{h}
h's cancel and you are left with 5
the differnce quotient is 5
