This is the concept of quadratic equations, solving the equation 2x^2-12x+20=0 using the formula we get:
x=[-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a)
from our equation, a=2,b=-12 and c=20
x=[-(-12+/-sqrt((-12)^2-4*2*20)]/(2*2)
x=[12+/-sqrt(144-160]/4
x=[12+/-sqrt(-16)]/4
x=[12+/-4i]/4
x=[3+\-i]
the answer is A] 3+/-i
By definition the rate of change of a function is given by:

Or equivalently:

Substituting the values given in the problem we have:

Rewriting we have:
Answer:
the rate of change of the ramp is:
Im not sure but i think your m is(-2,0) and your b is (6,0)
