Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let be
, this expression is simplified by algebraic and trascendental means. As first step, the second order polynomial is simplified. Its roots are determined by the Quadratic Formula, that is to say:


The polynomial in factorized form is:

The function can be rewritten and simplified as follows:
![f(x,y) = \log_{4} [(x-5-\sqrt{25-6\cdot y})\cdot (x-5+\sqrt{25-6\cdot y})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20%5Clog_%7B4%7D%20%5B%28x-5-%5Csqrt%7B25-6%5Ccdot%20y%7D%29%5Ccdot%20%28x-5%2B%5Csqrt%7B25-6%5Ccdot%20y%7D%29%5D)

He could have wrote -2.5 or -3.
A fraction with the same numerator (number on top) as another but with a smaller denominator (number on bottom) is a larger number. For example 1/2 is bigger than 1/3 which is bigger than 1/4, etc.
Answer:
The slope is m, and the y-intercept is b.
Step-by-step explanation:
What ever is attached to the x is the slope. The y-intercept is the b because it has a 0 on the x axis and a number on the y axis.
