Step b is wrong. The slope is the change in y over the change in x.
Step b should be (18- 8)/( 10-6)
= 10/4
= 5/2
If

then the derivative is

Critical points occur where
. This happens for



In the first case, we find

In the second,

So all the critical points occur at multiples of
, or
. (This includes all the even multiples of
.)
1165 divided by 255 = 5.17 = 5 costumes
Answer:
slope = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 9, - 6)
m =
=
=
