this is system of equations
2x + 5y = -1 times this one by 5 to make the y's opposite
-10x -25y = 5
10x - 25y = -5 (this is it times by 5, now add them)
__________
0 + 0 = 0
now since everything cancels and both sides are equal it has infinite solutions beaus they are actually the same line.
N = 3 ( the next number is 3 plus the previous number
sequence formula = an = 3(n-1) +2
so for term the term that =59
59 = 3(n-1) +2
distribute:
59 = 3n -3+2
59 = 3n -1
60 = 3n
n = 60/3
n = 20
59 is the 20th term
Answer

2 - 3
3 - 6
4 - 10
5 - 15
Part B
Now plot these points on the coordinate plane
(1,1) (2,3) (3,6) (4,10) (5,15)
Part C
It is NOT a linear function
Answer:
The equation that represents the line passing through the point (2, -4) with a slope of one half is

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line can be described by a first order equation in the following format:

In which a is the slope of the line.
Solution:
The line slope is
, so
.
The equation of the line now is:

The problem states that the line passes through the point(2,-4). This means that when x = 2, f(x) = -4
So:




So, the equation that represents the line passing through the point (2, -4) with a slope of one half is

Simplify
![Q-[R+S]-T](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q-%5BR%2BS%5D-T)
The answer is:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have the expressions:

Now, we need simplify:
![Q-[R+S]-T](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q-%5BR%2BS%5D-T)
We need to replace each term by the expressions:
![7m+3n-[(11-2m)+(n+5)]-(-m-3n+8)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7m%2B3n-%5B%2811-2m%29%2B%28n%2B5%29%5D-%28-m-3n%2B8%29)
We need to remember the rule of signs:



With this in mind we solve the parentheses:
![7m+3n-[(11-2m)+(n+5)]-(-m-3n+8)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7m%2B3n-%5B%2811-2m%29%2B%28n%2B5%29%5D-%28-m-3n%2B8%29)
![7m+3n-[11-2m+n+5]+m+3n-8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=7m%2B3n-%5B11-2m%2Bn%2B5%5D%2Bm%2B3n-8)

let's group common terms

We must add and subtract common terms:

The answer is:
