The slope of the line connecting two points (<em>a</em>, <em>b</em>) and (<em>c</em>, <em>d</em>) is
(<em>d</em> - <em>b</em>) / (<em>c</em> - <em>a</em>)
i.e. the change in the <em>y</em>-coordinate divided by the change in the <em>x</em>-coordinate. For a function <em>y</em> = <em>f(x)</em>, this slope is the slope of the secant line connecting the two points (<em>a</em>, <em>f(a)</em> ) and (<em>c</em>, <em>f(c)</em> ), and has a value of
(<em>f(c)</em> - <em>f(a)</em> ) / (<em>c</em> - <em>a</em>)
Here, we have
<em>f(x)</em> = <em>x</em> ²
so that
<em>f</em> (1) = 1² = 1
<em>f</em> (1.01) = 1.01² = 1.0201
Then the slope of the secant line is
(1.0201 - 1) / (1.01 - 1) = 0.0201 / 0.01 = 2.01

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The phrase " the sum of x and 8" is equivalent to adds the number x and the number 8 or sum the number x plus the number 8
so
Answer:
y = -2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is in standard form, first, we need to convert it to slope-intercept form.
5 = -10x - 5y
5 + 10x = -5y
Divide both sides by -5 to isolate y variable.
y = -2x - 1
If the line is parallel, the slope remains the same.
To find the y-intercept, you need to plug the values of x and y into the equation, which is y = 2x + b
5 = -2(-2) + b
5 = 4 + b
1 = b
The equation is -2x + 1
Ans: Cramer's rule uses determinants instead of the inverse to solve linear systems of equations. Its major disad- vantage is that you can only solve for one variable at a time - this is why most computer programs do not use this rule to solve systems of equations.
