Question 1119444: 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) = _____ and s(-2) = _____
b. s(x) = _____

s(5)=6/5
s(-2)=-1/-2 or 1/2
s(x)=(x+1)/x
