A. slope is rise/run. can count up 3 right 2. slope = 3/2
also by slope formula m = (y - y1)/(x - x1)
B. y-intercept is the y coordinate where the line crosses the y-axis.
See that it is at y = -4 on the graph?
To use the slope.. go backwards from the closest point (4,2) down 2 left 3 gets you to the next point (2,-1) then go down 2 left 3 again to get to y-intercept (0, -4)
C. y = (3/2)x - 4
How you get it is by putting in the values into the standard equation for a line; y = mx + b
m is slope and b is y-intercept.
Answer:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that

we have to solve this equation for x
in order to do that we need to isolate x first
hence
subtracting 11 from both sides we get


Now we square on both sides we get



hence x =16
In your situation you said that
Putting those together, you'd have
because
.
To evaluate the difference quotient, first find each piece on it's own:
because
no matter what your x-value is.
So putting those together:

Remember that the difference quotient is basically finding the slope of something. Since you were given that the slope is 0, the difference quotient should work out to match that.
