Hi!
I can help you with joy!
- If you notice, the y-coordinates of the points are the same.
- This means the slope of the line is 0, because its rise is 0.
- Let's use the slope formula:
- Simplify:
- Simplify:
<u>Answer:</u>
The slope of the line is 0.

The mathematical mistake that Riley made is that:
"She used the wrong common denominator." (Option A)
A common denominator is a factor that is similar to all the fractions in the sequence of equations.
Hence the correct answer is:
(2(2x² - 6x + 9))/((x-3) (x-2) (x+3))
See the correct sequence of steps below:
Step One - the Expression is given as:
(x/(x-3)(x-2)) + (3/(x+3))
Step 2 - Find the common denominator and rewrite the expression so that the numerators are above the common denominators.
Hence we have: (x (x+3) + 3(x-3) (x-2))/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)
Step 3 Apply the Law of Multiplicative Distribution:
Hence we have (x² +3x+3x²-9x-6x+16)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)
Step 4 - Collect Like Items
This gives us: (x²+3x²)+(3x-9x-6x)+18/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)
Step 5 Sort for like coefficients
This gives us: ((1+3)x² +(3-9-6) * x + 18)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)
Step 6 - check for the sum or difference
This gives us: (4x²+(3-9-6) * x+ 18)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3)
We simplify and factor the expression to get
(2(2x²-6x+6)/(x-3)(x-2)(x+3).
