Answer:The slope is -3 or -3/1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope you have to find the difference in the y values then divide it by the difference in the x values.

4-(-2)= 6

-1-1=-2

6/-2= -3

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = change of x over change of y

6 over 2

line goes down so slope is negative

-3

On a number line, point S has coordinate 4.8 and point T has coordinate –2.3.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

The only answer that would work would be D) | 4.8 - ( -2.3) |

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the distance is the absolute value of the difference of the two numbers. B and C would also work, but the 2.3 is not negative. A does not work because it is addition.

Eric wants to get an output of 0. Can he do this with each machine? If so, how? If not, why not?

natita [175]

Answer:

No, he can get an output of 0 with the second machine (function B) but he cannot get an output of 0 with the first machine (function A).

Explanation

The way each machine works is given by the expression (function) inside it.

1) Function A

To get an output of 0 with the function y = x² + 3, you must solve the equation x² + 3 = 0.

Since x² is zero or positive for any real number, x² + 3 will never be less than 3 (the minimum value of x² + 3 is 3). So, it is not possible to get an output of 0 with the first machine.

2) Function B

Solve $y=\sqrt{x}-2=0$
