The equation of the line will be (assuming the y-intercept equal to zero):

y = 2.5*x

<h3>What is Tahila's mistake?</h3>

We know that we have a linear equation of the form:

y = a*x + b

Such that we know that the line passes through (-3, -7.5), notice that the proposed equation is:

y = 0.5*x

If you evaluate that in -3, you get:

y = 0.5*-3 = -1.5

So this line does not pass through (-3, -7.5).

If we assume that b = 0 in the linear equation, then we can find the value of a as:

-7.5  =  a*-3

a = 7.5/3 = 2.5

Then the linear equation is:

y = 2.5*x

Find the explicit formula for the sequence? -1,4,-16,64......
Ede4ka [16]

The explicit formula for given sequence is: a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

-1,4,-16,64.....

We can see that there is no same difference between consecutive terms so we will find common ratio to see if it is a geometric sequence.

Here

a_1 = -1\\a_2 = 4\\a_3 = -16\\a_4 = 64\\r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{4}{-1} = -4\\r = \frac{a_3}{a_2} = \frac{-16}{4} = -4

The explicit formula for geometric sequence is:

a_n = a_1r^{n-1}

Putting the values of r and a1

a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Hence

The explicit formula for given sequence is: a_n = -1 . (-4)^{n-1}

Keywords: Geometric sequence, common ratio
