For this question you need to use what's called point-slope form. It's named this way because you can use it if you have both the slope and a point at which the line passes through. That said, the equation is as follows:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Both y1 and x1 represent the y and x coordinates you are given in the question. Also, m represents the slope of the line that you are given. Knowing this, our equation now looks like this:

y - 4 = -0.5(x - (-5))

And now simplify:

y - 4 = -0.5(x + 5)
y - 4 = -0.5x - 2.5

y = -0.5x + 1.5

Tema [17]
Given:
The train has 6 passenger cars
Each car has 4 columns
And 1 column hold 50 passengers

So, total of seats will be = 6 * 4 * 50 = 1200

Now, there are 25 empty seats, 

therefore the correct equation will be : 

Number of seats per car: 4 × 50 = 200

Total number of seats: 200 × 6 = 1,200

Number of passengers: 1,200 − 25 = p

In a geometric sequence, the__<br> between consecutive terms is constant
kow [346]

Answer:

In a geometric sequence, the <u>ratio</u> between consecutive terms is constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is where you get from one term to another by multiplying by the same value. This value is known as the <u>constant ratio</u>, or <u>common ratio</u>. An example of a geometric sequence and it's constant ratio would be the sequence 4, 16, 64, 256, . . ., in which you find the next term by multiplying the previous term by four. 4 × 4 = 16, 16 × 4 = 64, and so on. So, in this sequence the constant <em>ratio </em>would be four.

The y intercept here is 95, and it represented from where the boy threw the ball.

If he threw it from 95 ft above the ground, the best answer for where he is is on a bridge.
His backyard is at 0 ft (sea level). An underground cave is below sea level. A ladder is probably not 95 ft.

Final answer: D
