Slope = (1 + 4) / (-5 -3) = 5/-8 = -5/8
answer
-5/8
The slope is the rise over run. Basically, any line has a constant increase. If you are looking at a line on a graph and each point it meets at is 1 up and 1 over, the slope is 1. Say the line goes up two and over one for each time it meets an actual point, the slope would be 2. If it is 1 up and 2 over, it would be 1/2.
f(x) = x³ - 2x² - 24x
x³ - 2x² - 24x = 0
x(x² - 2x - 24) = 0
x = 0
x² - 2x - 24 = 0
a = 1, b = -2, c = -24
Delta = (-2)² - 4 * 1 * (-24) = 4 + 96 = 100
x = (-(-2) - 10)/(2 * 1) = -8/2 = -4
x = (-(-2) + 10)/(2 * 1) = 12/2 = 6
Answer: 2)
Quantitative. Because they can be counted
