Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)
GCF = 3
Factor out the GCF ( Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF)
3(3x^2/3 + -12x/3 - 15/3)
Simplify each term in parentheses
3(x^2 - 4x - 5)
Factor x^2 - 4x - 5
<u>3(x - 5)(x + 1)</u>
Non linear and increasing
Im not too sure, but C might work as an answer...
Sorry if it's wrong :(
Construct the line using the two points:
slope: m = (-4 - 2) / (4 + 3) = -6/7;
then, y = mx + b => 2 = (-6/7)(-3) + b => 14/7 - 18/7 = b => b = -4/7.
And your y-intersect is -4/7.
