Let's find the slope :

taking :

  • y_2 = 6

  • y_1 = 8

  • x_2 = 4

  • x_1 =  - 2

now, we know the formula to find the slope, that is :

  • \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1 }

  • \dfrac{6 - 8}{4 - ( - 2)}

  • \dfrac{ - 2}{ 6}

  • - \dfrac{ 1}{3}

Answer:

\boxed {-\frac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed {\sf{Slope}=\cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}

\sf \left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:8\right)

\sf \left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(4,\:6\right)

__________________

\sf slope \:(m)=\cfrac{6-8}{4-\left(-2\right)}

\boxed {\sf Subtract \:the \:numbers:-}

\sf Slope\:(m)=-\cfrac{1}{3}

What are the ordered pairs of the
9966 [12]

Start by writing the system down, I will use y to represent f(x)

y=x^2-5x+3\wedge y=-3

Substitute the fact that y=-3 into the first equation to get,

-3=x^2-5x+3

Simplify into a quadratic form (ax^2+bx+c=0),

x^2-5x+6=0

Now you can use Vieta's rule which states that any quadratic equation can be written in the following form,

x^2+x(m+n)+mn=0

which then must factor into

(x+m)(x+n)=0

And the solutions will be m,n.

Clearly for small coefficients like ours 5,6, this is very easy to figure out. To get 5 and 6 we simply say that m=3, n=2.

This fits the definition as 5=3+2 and 6=2\cdot3.

So as mentioned, solutions will equal to m=3, n=2 but these are just x-values in the solution pairs of a form (x,y).

To get y-values we must substitute 3 for x in the original equation and then also 2 for x in the original equation. Luckily we already know that substituting either of the two numbers yields a zero.

So the solution pairs are (2,0) and (3,0).

Hope this helps :)
