Answer:

Two options:

5,6, and 7

-1,0,and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive natural numbers can be represented as n, n+1, and n+2.

The product of the smaller two would be n(n+1). The less than 5 times the larger is 5(n+2)-5.

Set them equal and solve by factoring:

n(n+1) = 5(n+2) -5\\n^2+n = 5n+10 -5\\n^2+n = 5n+5\\n^2 -4n-5=0\\(n-5)(n+1)=0

Set each factor equal to 0.

n-5==0 so n=5.

n+1=0 so n=-1.

This means the 3 consecutive numbers would be 5,6, and 7

OR

-1, 0 or 1.

Write a linear equation that passes through the point (2,-9) and has a slope of -5
Anna [14]

Answer:

  • y = -5x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • The slope m = -5 and point (2, -9)

<u>Use point slope form:</u>

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) is the given point

<u>So the equation is:</u>

  • y - (-9) = -5(x - 2)
  • y + 9 = -5x + 10
  • y = -5x + 1
