3n - 1
When n = 1,
3n - 1 = 3*1 - 1 = 3 -1 = 2
When n = 2,
3n - 1 = 3*2 - 1 = 6 -1 = 5
When n = 3,
3n - 1 = 3*3 - 1 = 9 -1 = 8
Hence, the first three terms are 2, 5 and 8.
The y intercept of a graph containing the two points (3,1) and (7,-2) is 
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given points are (3, 1) and (7, -2)
<em><u>The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>
y = mx + c ------- eqn 1
Where, "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y intercept
<em><u>Let us first find the slope of line</u></em>
The slope of line is given as:

Here the points are (3, 1) and (7, -2)

Substituting in formula, we get

To find the y intercept:


Thus y -intercept is 
The answer is going to be 1 and -4 as the 2s cross divide out
Food A has fewer calories per serving.
I found this by taking the first food (A) and dividing 150 by 3. This gave me 50, which I added onto 150 to give me my 4/4 of a serving (200 calories).
With food B, I did the same process. I took 250/2 and added that to the original amount to get the final third of the serving, which resulted in food B being 375 calories.
