I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
Answer:
p(2) =147 and p(4) = 1791
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given p(x)= 6x^4 + 4x^3 – 3x^2 + 8x + 15.
Now we need to find value of p(2) and p(4)
Put x =2,
p(2) = 6(2)^4 + 4(2)^3 – 3(2)^2 + 8(2) + 15
p(2) = 6(16)+4(8)-3(4)+8(2)+15
p(2) = 96+32-12+16+15
p(2) = 147
Now put x = 4
p(4) = 6(4)^4 + 4(4)^3 – 3(4)^2 + 8(4) + 15
p(4) = 6(256)+4(64)-3(16)+8(4)+15
p(4) = 1536+256-48+32+15
p(4) = 1791

Answer:</h2>
The following which is not a requirement of a standard form of equation Ax+By=C is:
b) B ≥ 0
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
We know that the standard equation of a line is given by:
where A,B and C are integers and A is taken to be a non-negative integer i.e. (A≥0) also the greatest common factor of A,B and C is: 1.
Also A and B can't be both zero.
Hence, the correct option is:
Option: b
