Answer:

hi! so we have 2 points right? you will need to use something called the slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1 we're subtracting our y values of both points and x values of both points while dividing them this gives us a slope of a line

now I want you to label before you do this in your head! it can get confusing to think about it so label label (x1-1,y1 4) (x2 14,y2 -2) now you have them labeled this parts easy! use the formula -2-4/14--1 okay now use your calculator you get -2/5 and now you have your m or slope!

memorize y2-y1/x2-x1 now! it will save you!

Which one of the following statements is true?

kicyunya [14]

The first derivitive is the slope
a positive 1st deriviive is positive slope or increasing
a negaitve 1st derivitive is negative slope or decreasing

the 2nd derivitive tells about the concavity
a negative second derivitive means it is concave down at that point
a positive 2nd derivitive means it is concave up at that point

so

first one is false
2nd is true
3rd is false because it could possibly be a minimum as well

answer is 2nd one
