A)
SLOPE OF f(x)
To find the slope of f(x) we pick two points on the function and use the slope formula. Each point can be written (x, f(x) ) so we are given three points in the table. These are: (-1, -3) , (0,0) and (1,3). We can also refer to the points as (x,y). We call one of the points
and another 
. It doesn't matter which two points we use, we will always get the same slope. I suggest we use (0,0) as one of the points since zeros are easy to work with.
Let's pick as follows:
The slope formula is:
We now substitute the values we got from the points to obtain.
The slope of f(x) = 3
SLOPE OF g(x)
The equation of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Since g(x) is given in this form, the number in front of the x is the slope and the number by itself is the y-intercept.
That is, since g(x)=7x+2 the slope is 7 and the y-intercept is 2.
The slope of g(x) = 2
B)
Y-INTERCEPT OF g(x)
From the work in part a we know the y-intercept of g(x) is 2.
Y-INTERCEPT OF f(x)
The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This point will always have an x-coordinate of 0 which is why we need only identify the y-coordinate. Since you are given the point (0,0) which has an x-coordinate of 0 this must be the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Since the point also has a y-coordinate of 0, it's y-intercept is 0
So the function g(x) has the greater y-intercept

Answer:
- draw lines center to vertex
- 43.5 square inches
- 261 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>:
The area can be decomposed into triangles by drawing a line from the center to each vertex of the hexagon.
__
<u>Part B</u>:
The area of each triangle is given by the triangle area formula:
A = (1/2)bh
A = (1/2)(10 in)(8.7 in) = 43.5 in²
__
<u>Part C</u>:
The area of the table top is 6 times the area of one triangle:
surface area = 6(43.5 in²) = 261 in²
