Answer:
3.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope formula- m = y2 - y1
x2 - x1
x1, y1
2.1, 3.8
7.6 - 3.8
3.1 - 2.1 = 3.8
x2,y2
3.1, 7.6
Are you trying to find n?
Answer:
Question 6: -8
Question 7: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 6:
The reason question 6 is -8 is because of the distance in between each number, e.g -7 and -15. This is not to be confused with + 8 each time that would make the sequence 9, 18, 27.
Question 7:
The way we solve this question is using the nth term rule, whatever is before the n is the times tables we follow. So if it is 2n the sequence would be 2, 4, 6, 8 etc. However when we add something like the -2 we do the 2 times tables but this time we -2 for each one. Example: 2 - 2 = 0 so the first number of the sequence is 0, Example 2: 4-2 = 2 so the second number of the sequence is 2.
Answer:
h = -t+20
After 8 hours the candle will be 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 2 points (time, inches)
(3,17) and (5,15)
We can find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (15-17)/(5-3)
= -2/2
= -1
We can use point slope form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Replace y with h and x with t
h-17 = -1 (t-3)
Distribute
h-17 = -t+3
Add 17 to each side
h-17+17 = -t+3+17
h = -t+20
After 8 hours
h = -t+20
h = -8+20
h= 12
