What is the solution to the equation -√(15+x)=-3?

Using the given points, determine the slope. (0, 32) and (100, 212)

Allushta [10]

Hi!

To find the slope of two given points, subtract the y values, and subtract the x values, or..

$\frac{(y2 - y1)}{(x2 - x1)}$

$\frac{(212 - 32)}{(100 - 0)}$

$\frac{180}{100}$

The answer is 9/5 or 1.8.

Hope this helps! :)
