Answer:
2/6561
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric sequence formula :
where an = nth term, a1 = first term , r = common ratio and n = term position
given ratio : 1/3 , first term : 2 , given this we want to find the 9th term
to do so we simply plug in what we are given into the formula
recall formula :
define variables : a1 = 2 , r = 1/3 , n = 9
plug in values
a9 = 2(1/3)^(9-1)
subtract exponents
a9 = 2(1/3)^8
evaluate exponent
a9 = 2 (1/6561)
multiply 2 and 1/6561
a9 = 2/6561
Here ya go (: hope this helps.
Point slope form follows the equation y-y₁=m(x-x₁), so we want it to look like that. Starting off with m, or the slope, we can find this using your two points with the formula 
. Note that y₁ and x₁ are from the same point, but it does not matter which point you designate to be point 1 and point 2. Thus, we can plug our numbers in - the x value comes first in the equation, and the y value comes second, so we have
as our slope. Keeping in mind that it does not matter which point is point 1 and which point is point 2, we go back to y-y₁=m(x-x₁) and plug a point in (I'll be using (10,5)). Note that x₁, m, and y₁ need to be plugged in, but x and y stay that way so that you can plug x or y values into the formula to find where exactly it is on the line. Thus, we have our point slope equation to be
