1. Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.
(3,-5), (-9,-8)
Slope m = diffy/diffx = (-5 - (-8))/(3 - (-9)) = 3/12
m = 1/4
--------------
2. Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.
(-7, 6), (-7,-9)
diffx = 0 --> infinite, or undefined
-----------------
3. Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.
(-1,4), (5,4)
Do it like #1
-----------------------
4. Evaluate the function at the given value of the independent variable and simplify.
f(x)= X (square) - 1; f(x - 2)
f%28x%29+=+x%5E2
Sub x-2 for x
--------------
5. Evaluate the funciton at the given value of the independent variable and simplify.
f(x)= 4x(square) + 5c - 6; f(x - 1)
-----------
f%28x%29+=+4x%5E2+%2B+5c+-+6
Sub x-1 for x
