Answer:

S₁₆ = 328

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

given a₄ = 7 and a₇ = 16 , then

a₁ + 3d = 7 → (1)

a₁ + 6d = 16 → (2)

subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

0 + 3d = 9

3d = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

d = 3

substitute d = 3 into (1) and solve for a₁

a₁ + 3(3) = 7

a₁ + 9 = 7 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

a₁ = - 2

the sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

with a₁ = - 2 and d = 3 , then

S₁₆ = \frac{16}{2} [ (2 × - 2) + (15 × 3) ]

     = 8(- 4 + 45)

     = 8 × 41

     = 328

What is the slope that passes through the points (-5,0) and (-3,1)
tangare [24]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When given two points, we can find the slope by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (1-0)/(-3- -5)

     = (1-0) / (-3+5)

      = 1/2
