$-2+4(-5+2m)=5(4-2m)+5m\\ \\ -2-20+8m=20-10m+5m\\ \\ -22+8m=20-5m\\ \\ -22-20=-5m-8m\\ \\ -42=-13m\\ \\ 4=m$

Hope that helps!

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, 4) and (4, −1)?

Igoryamba

Note:
The slope of a straight line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is
$m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

The two given points are (-3,4) and (4,-1). Therefore the slope is
$m= \frac{-1-4}{4-(-3)} = \frac{-5}{7}$

Answer: $- \frac{5}{7}$

For a sequence defined by f(1)=13 and 2f(n-1)+(n-2), which of the following is the value of f(4)

densk [106]

Given that:
f(1)=13 and 2f(n-1)+(n-2)
then:
f(4) will be found as follows:
f(2)=2f(2-1)=2f(1)=2*13=26
f(3)=2f(3-1)+(3-2)=2f(2)+1=2*26+1=53
f(4)=2f(4-1)+(4-2)=2f(3)+(4-2)=2(53)+2=108

Thus:
Answer:(3) 108
