When you foil it out you should get: 2x^5-2x^3-12x. When you factor it out completely you get: 2x(x^2-3)(x^2+2)
-3/6 = -1/2 is the slope of the line.
9/100 is less because if we multiply 7/10 by 10 (to get an equivalent fraction with a denominator the same as the other fraction [100]) we get 70/100, which is way more than 9/100.
So, 7/10 is greater than 9/100
Hope this helps!
