I think that would be  an  = an-1 *  1/2    where an = nth term, and an-1 = previous term.

Answer:

a_{n}=\frac{a_{n-1}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look a the sequence:

3, \frac{3}{2} ,\frac{3}{4} ,\frac{3}{8}

we can see that

\frac{3}{2}=3*\frac{1}{2}

and

\frac{3}{4} =\frac{3}{2}*\frac{1}{2}

and

\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3}{4}  *\frac{1}{2}

so each next number is equal to the previous number multiplied by \frac{1}{2} or, in other other words, is the previous number divided by 2.

So the recursive formula must be:

a_{n}=\frac{a_{n-1}}{2}

where a_{n} is a number in the sequence, and a_{n-1} is the immediate previous number.

Write the equation of the line parallel to Y equals 2/3X +1 through the point (0,-4)  use slope intercept form
Andrew [12]

Writing the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, we have:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since parallel lines have the same slope, we can see that the slope of the line y = 2/3x + 1 is equal m = 2/3, so for our equation we also have m = 2/3.

Now, using the point (0, -4), we have:

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{2}{3}x+b \\ (0,-4)\colon \\ -4=\frac{2}{3}\cdot0+b \\ b+0=-4 \\ b=-4 \end{gathered}

So our equation is:

y=\frac{2}{3}x-4

y = 2/3x - 4
