Hi,
I'm stumped on this question:
In the xy-coordinate plane, the graph of x = y^2 - 4 intersects line L at (0, p) and (5, t). What is the greatest possible value of the slope of L?
I solve for y by plugging in the x values. I now have two points: (0,2) and (5,3). The slope is 1/5. From there I don't know how to find out the greatest possible slope for L.
The answer is 1, I just don't know how to arrive there.
Thanks for your help!
