Let's do the math. In the example a =2, b = 3, c = 5. If we are trying to see if the sum of these numbers has a common factor more than 1 do the math. 2 + 3 + 5 = 10. Ten has four factors which are 1, 2, 5, and 10. So the answer to your question is yes.
So the formula would be -1856 +98[n-1]
Is there anything else to this problem?
Answers:
- No
- Yes
- No
- Yes

Explanation:
Let's use the slope formula to get
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (6-4)/(5-2)
m = 2/3
The slope of the line is 2/3.
We can see that the responses for choices 1 and 3 are "no" because they involve a slope of 3/2.
-------------
Recall that y-y1 = m(x-x1) represents the point slope form. The m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point the line goes through.
If we plugged the point (x1,y1) = (2,4) , along with the slope m = 2/3, then we'll get to what choice 2 is saying
If we tried the other point (5,6), and kept m the same, then we'd get to choice 4.
That makes choices 2 and 4 "yes" responses.
