Question 1120613: Let f(x)=x+1 and define s(x) to be the slope of the line through the points (0,0) and (x,f(x)). a. Evaluate: s(5) and s(-2); b. Find an equation for s(x) in terms of x.
Note that fractional answers must be expressed like -5/6, and answers with exponents like (x^2-1)/(x+3). Use lower case letters.and do not use spaces in your answers.
Answer:
a. s(5) = Answer
and s(2) = Answer
b. s(x) = Answer
