Answer:
m = - , c = -
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
2x + 3y + 1 = 0 ( subtract 2x + 1 from both sides )
3y = - 2x - 1 ( divide terms by 3 )
y = - x -
← in slope- intercept form
with m = - and c = -
=================================================
Explanation:
Check out the image below. I've posted the synthetic division table. The value at the very end of the bottom row is the remainder. By the remainder theorem, this is exactly the value of g(-5).
Recall the remainder theorem says: If you divide p(x) by (x-k), then the remainder is p(k). In this case, k = -5 is our test root which is the value placed in the box on the left.
As a way to check the answer, we can say
g(x) = 2x^2 + 6x + 5
g(-5) = 2(-5)^2 + 6(-5) + 5
g(-5) = 25
So the answer is confirmed.
