(1,3), (3,-2)

m=(y2-y1) / (x2-x1) where (x1 = 1) (y1= 3) (x2=3) (y2=-2)
m=(-2-3)/(3-1)
m=-5/2

therefore slope = -5/2

Slope is rise over run or (y₁-y₂)/(x₁-x₂)

(x,y)
(1,3)
(3,-2)

(3-(-2))/(1-3)=(3+2)/(1-3)=5/-2

slope is -5/2

(10 pts) (a) (2 pts) What is the difference between an ordinary differential equation and an initial value problem? (b) (2 pts)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The difference between an ordinary differential equation and an initial value problem is that an initial value problem is a differential equation which has condition(s) for optimization, such as a given value of the function at some point in the domain.

(B) The difference between a particular solution and a general solution to an equation is that a particular solution is any specific figure that can satisfy the equation while a general solution is a statement that comprises all particular solutions of the equation.

(C) Example of a second order linear ODE:

M(t)Y"(t) + N(t)Y'(t) + O(t)Y(t) = K(t)

The equation will be homogeneous if K(t)=0 and heterogeneous if $K(t)\neq 0$
