Answer:

102.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a_38 = -5

difference d= -2.9

We use general formula

a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

WE make the formula for a_38 th term

Plug in 38 for n

a_{38} = a_1 + (38-1)d

Now plug in -2.9 for d and -5 for a_38

-5 = a_1 + (38-1)(-2.9)

-5 = a_1 - 107.3

Now add 107.3 on both sides

102.3 = a_1

option A is correct

A line with a slope of 2 passes through the points (0,4) and (-6,v). What is the value of v?
krok68 [10]

To solve this problem, we should create an equation using the given information.  To do this, we should calculate the slope between the two points as if they were regular points, giving us:

change in y/change in x = (v-4)/(-6-0) = (v-4)/(-6)

Since we know that the slope is 2, we can set our calculated value for the slope of the line for the equation (v-4)/(-6) equal to 2, as shown below:

(v-4)/(-6) = 2

To solve this equation, we should multiply both sides of the equation by -6 to get rid of the denominator on the left side of the equation.

v-4 = -12

Next, we should add 4 to both sides of the equation to get the variable v alone on the left side of the equation, as shown below:

v = -8

Therefore, v =-8 is your answer.

Hope this helps!
