the slope goes by several names
• average rate of change
• rate of change
• deltaY over deltaX
• Δy over Δx
• rise over run
• gradient
• constant of proportionality

and to get it, we simply need two points off of the straight line, hmm let's use the ones in the picture below.
Answer:
f(2) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Function f(t) is defined in three different ways depending on the value of t.
For t = 8, function f(t) is -64/t.
For t = 10, function f(t) is 14 - t.
We are not asked about f(8) or f(10). We are asked about f(2). The third definition of function f(t) is for all values of t that are not 8 or 10. 2 is not 8 or 10, so use the third definition of function f(t) and plug in 2 for t.
f(t) = t^2 - 3t + 2 for t not equal to 8 or 10.
f(2) = 2^2 - 3(2) + 2
f(2) = 4 - 6 + 2
f(2) = 0
X = 2
18 / 3 = 2
2 * 6 = 6
6 + 6 + 6 = 18
Hope this helps.
... there is no math problem here
