Answer:

S₁₅ = 127.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of an arithmetic progression is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

given a₃ = 1 and a₇ = 7 , then

a₁ + 2d = 1 → (1)

a₁ + 6d = 7 → (2)

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

0 + 4d = 6

4d = 6 ( divide both sides by 4 )

d = 1.5

substitute d = 1.5 into (1) and solve for a₁

a₁ + 2(1.5) = 1

a₁ + 3 = 1 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

a₁ = - 2

the sum to n terms of an arithmetic progression is

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

with a₁ = - 2 and d = 1.5 , then

S₁₅ = \frac{15}{2} [ (2 × - 2) + (14 × 1.5) ]

     = 7.5(- 4 + 21)

     = 7.5 × 17

     = 127.5

Write the equation of the line that passes through (−3, 5) and (2, 10) in slope-intercept form
BigorU [14]
Slope = (10 -5)/(2+3) = 5/5=1

y = mx + b
5 = 1(-3) + b
b =8

so equation y = x +8
