Hey there :)
To find the slope with <em>two points</em> we will need to use the equation 

( 3 , -20 ) ( 5 , 8 )
Here is what the equation should look like when replaced with the numbers (<em>it will be a fraction</em>) :

We know that <em>two negatives</em> cancel out and make a positive, so the numerator would actually be 8 + 20.
Solve the fraction and we get 
28 <em>divided</em> by 2 is 14. The slope is 14.
The number of positive roots is the number of changes of signs there are, then decrease by 2 each time and stop when you get to 1 or 0
negative roots, sub every x with -x and reevaluate, count change of signs
decrease by 2 each time and stop when you get to 1 or 0
y=+2x⁵-x⁴-2x³+4x²+x-2
+,-,-,+,+,-
1 2 3
3 or 1 positive roots
replace x with -x ( baically flip all signs of odd powerd numbers)
y=-2x⁵-x⁴+2x³+4x²-x-2
-,-,+,+,-,-
1 2
2 or 0 negative roots
3 or 1 positive roots
2 or 0 negative roots
2nd option is answer
