Slope intercepf is y=mx+b wherem=slope and b= y intercept
slope is found by doing
(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
points are (6,-1) and (-3,2)
(x,y)
x1=6
y1=-1
x2=-3
y2=2
subsitute
(-1-2)/(6-(-2))=-3/(6+2)=-3/8
slope=-3/8
subsitute
y=-3/8x+b
subsitute and solve for b
(-3,2)
x=-3
y=2
2=-3/8(-3)+b
2=9/8+b
2=16/8
subtract 9/8 from both sides
16/8-9/8=b
7/8=b
y=-3/9x+7/8 is the equation

Explain why the expression 9x^3+1/2x^2+3x^-1 is not a polynomial
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The given expression can't be expressed in polynomial form. Hence, it is not a polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x,n) is a polynomial of nth degree if it is of the form,

P(x,n) = a_{0} + a_{1}x + a_{2}x^{2} + a_{3}x^{3} + ......... +a_{n}x^{n}

where n is a finite positive integer and n ∈ N

and 'a_{i}'s are fixed but otherwise arbitrary constants ∀  i = 0(1)n .

Now, the given expression is,

9x^{3} + \frac {1}{2x^{2}} + 3x^{-1}

which  doesn't fit in the above form. Hence, it is not a polynomial.
