To factor both numerator and denominator in this rational expression we are going to substitute
with
; so
and
. This way we can rewrite the expression as follows:
Now we have two much easier to factor expressions of the form
. For the numerator we need to find two numbers whose product is
(30) and its sum
(-11); those numbers are -5 and -6.
and
.
Similarly, for the denominator those numbers are -2 and -5.
and
. Now we can factor both numerator and denominator:
Notice that we have
in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:
But remember than
, so lets replace that to get back to our original variable:
Last but not least, the denominator of rational expression can't be zero, so the only restriction in the variable is

Answer:
25/-1
Step-by-step explanation:
slope equation-> y2-y1/x2-x1
14 - (-11) = 25
