To find the rate of change, or slope, pick two points. The slope, is change in y coordinates over change in x coordinates.
.
In this case, the slope is
.
Remember that subtracting a negative number equals adding the number without the negative sign.
a-(-b) = a+b
Now for the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the graph intersects the y-axis, where x = 0.
You have the coordinate (0, -1), where x = 0. So the y-intercept is -1.
Putting these values into the slope-intercept form y = mx+b, the equation is
y = -5x - 1
In this case, the slope is

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>
We are asked to prove by the method of mathematical induction that:
where n is a positive integer.
- Let us take n=1
then we have:
Hence, the result is true for n=1.
- Let us assume that the result is true for n=k
i.e.
- Now, we have to prove the result for n=k+1
i.e.
<u>To prove:</u>
Let us take n=k+1
Hence, we have:
( Since, the result was true for n=k )
Hence, we have:
Also, we know that:
(
Since, for n=k+1 being a positive integer we have:
)
Hence, we have finally,
Hence, the result holds true for n=k+1
Hence, we may infer that the result is true for all n belonging to positive integer.
i.e.
where n is a positive integer.
