Answer:
The general rule is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic sequence:
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.
The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is given by:
In which 
is the first term and d is the common difference.
We can also find the nth term as a function of a term m, using:
a3 = -12 and a8 = -37
First we find the common difference. So
So
Finding the first term:
Since 
So the general rule is:
Factor it should be
8(v-8)(v+7)
184+23=w
207=w
That’s the answer 207
Answer:
Not clear of the question
Step-by-step explanation:
You've got five different problems in this photo ... four on top and the word problem on the bottom ... and they're all exactly the same thing: Taking two points and finding the slope of the line that goes through them.
In every case, the procedure is the same.
If the two points are (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂) , then
the slope of the line that goes through them is
Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) .
This is important, and you should memorize it.
#1). (8, 10) and (-7, 14)
Slope = (14 - 10) / (-7 - 8) = 4 / -15
#2). (-3, 1) and (-17, 2)
Slope = (2 - 1) / (-17 - -3) = (2 - 1) / (-17 + 3) = 1 / -14
#3). (-20, -4) and (-12, -10)
Slope = [ -10 - (-4) ] / [ -12 - (-20) ]
=========================================
The word problem:
This question only gives you one point on the graph,
and then it wants to know what's the slope ?
What are you going to do for another point ?
A "proportional relationship" always passes through the origin,
so another point on the line is (0, 0) .
Now you have two points on THAT line too, and you can easily
find its slope.
