57.4/10=5.74
the answer is 5.74
The slope for the first one would be:
y2-y1/x2-x1, so replace those with the coordinates and you'll get:
-3-1/-7-(-7) => -4/0 so I guess the slope is zero
the slope for the second one would be:
-3-(-3)/5-(-4)=> 0/9 I think this one would be undefined.
Check to make sure, though!
Multiply then simplify, that's doing the same work twice...anyway
x^3+x^2y+xy^2-x^2y-xy^2-y^3
x^3-y^3 which if factored is:
(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2) which is what you started with :)
