Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-61 - (-37))/(-32 - (-26)) = (-61 + 37)/(-32 + 26) = -24/-6 = 4
Therefore, slope = 4
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The function
is
- decreasing for all

- is increasing for all
![x\in (0,2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5Cin%20%280%2C2%5D)
(see attached diagram for details).
The maximum value of the function is at endpoints -3 or 2. find y(-3) and y(2):

So, the maximum value is 5.
