Hello there!

Use the slope formula:

m= $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Now, plug in all the values:

$\frac{9-9}{6-(-8)} \\\frac{0}{6+8} \\0$

The slope is 0. Why?

If we are given 2 points and their y-coordinates are the same, then the line is a horizontal line. Its rise is zero.

Another formula for Slope is Rise/Run. If the rise (the amount of units we move up) is 0, then the slope is 0.

<h2>Therefore, the slope is 0.</h2>

Hope this helps you!

How do i simplify this: (8 2/3)^4

Serggg [28]

Answer:
5641 55/81

Step-by-step explanation:

you can simplify the equation by removing the parenthesis.
this means that you also have to solve the ^4 part.
this would be
5641 55/81

I know that this is a large number but that is what happens when you do ^4.

The equations of two functions are y = −25x + 5 and y = −28x + 4. Which function is changing more quickly? Complete the explanat

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The y= -28x+4 function is changing more quickly because the -28 of x is the bigger number meaning it is the bigger slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

hopefully that helps, if not let me know of the option you have that I can select from to fully answer the question.

What is this problem simplified

Svetlanka [38]

$\frac{x^2 - 5x-6}{x^2 - 36}$

You can begin to simplify this by factoring both the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{x^2 - 5x-6}{x^2 - 36} = \frac{(x-6)(x+1)}{(x-6)(x+6)}$

Next, cancel out any common factors in both the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{(x-6)(x+1)}{(x-6)(x+6)} = \frac{x+1}{x+6}$

Your answer would be $\frac{x+1}{x+6}$ .

Two roots of a 3-degree polynomial equation are 5 and -5. Which of the following cannot be the third root of the equation? 0 -5i

sammy [17]

Answer:

-5i and 5i cannot be roots of the equation, since they are complex.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 3-degree polynomial equation must have 3 roots, if one of its roots is a complex number, then its conjugate must also be a root of the function. The problem already stated two roots, which are reals, therefore the last root must also be real. Using this line of thought we know that -5i and 5i cannot be roots of the equation, since they're complex.
