Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
This looks like point-slope form, which I find personally hideous. Let's change it to slope-intercept form to ease my conscience. (remember that slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept!)
y - 5 = -4(x-8)
y - 5 = -4x + 32
y = -4x + 37
It's in slope-intercept form now! And -4 looks to be our m.
<u>So the slope is -4.</u>
Let p (x) = x^1 - x^-1 +x^0
p (2) = 2 -1/2 +1
=( 4 -1+2)/2
= 5/2
