Answer:

Let's start by first remembering what a "geometric sequence" is. A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that multiply by the same number each time. For example,

2, 4, 8, 16

is a geometric sequence since each number is multiplied by 2 from one to the next, but

2, 4, 6, 8 

is NOT a geometric sequence. We are adding 2 each time, but not multiplying, so it doesn't count. We have to be multiplying to have a geometric sequence.

[A] Let's look at A, are we multiplying by the same thing? 

6*3 = 18

18*3 = 54

54*3 = 162

162*3 = 486

Yes! We are multiplying by 3 each time. This is a geometric sequence!

[B] Are we multiplying by the same thing?

2*3/2 = 3

3*3/2 = 9/2 which is not 5.

NOPE

[C] Are we multiplying by the same thing?

2*5/2 = 5

5*5/2 = 25/2 which is not 8

NOPE

[D] Are we multiplying by the same thing?

-4*1/2 = -2

-2*1/2 = -1

-1*1/2 = -0.5

-0.5*1/2 = -0.25

-0.25*1/2 = -0.125

Yep, we are multiplying by 1/2 each time! This is a geometric sequence!

hope this help im not sure tho

rewrite the standard form equation below into slope-intercept form. x-2y=3 A. y=x+3 By=-3/2x-1/2 C.y=3/2x-1/2 D.y=1/2x-3/2
quester [9]
Let us start converting!

x-2y=3 \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides} \ \textgreater \  x-2y-x=3-x

-2y=3-x \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-2 \ \textgreater \  \frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{3}{-2}-\frac{x}{-2}

\frac{-2y}{-2} \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\ \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b} \ \textgreater \  \frac{2y}{2}

\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{2}{2}=1 \ \textgreater \  y

\frac{3}{-2}-\frac{x}{-2} \ \textgreater \  \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c} \ \textgreater \  \frac{3-x}{-2}

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}\ \textgreater \  -\frac{-x+3}{2} \ \textgreater \  y = -\frac{3-x}{2}

Therefore... y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2} (Note: m=\frac{1}{2},\:b=-\frac{3}{2})

M is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Hope this helps!
