Point slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1). Answer: y-7=6(x-(-4))
I think it’s B
Sorry if I’m wrong
Let [a, b] = the interval
The average rate of change can be found by using [f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a).
Let a = 1 and b = 5.
Let R = rate of change
17- x^2
R = [17 - 5^2] - [17 - 1^2]/(5 - 1)
R = [17 - 25] -[17 - 1]/4
R = [(-8) - (16)]/4
R = (-24)/4
R = -6
Done.
The slope of line passing through the given points is: -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given points are:
(x1,y1) = (-8,-1)
(x2,y2) = (-6,-2)
Slope is defined as the steepness of a line.
It is denoted by m.
The formula for slope is:

Putting the values

if you want to solve it without a graph you're going to need to use the cubic formula, I'm unsure how else to solve it
