The answer to this question has to be D. 42.75 square inches.
It is the distance between -14 and 0 on the number line
The arithmetic formula is expressed as an = a1 + d *(n-1)where n is an integer. Substituting from the given a1 = -12 and a27 = 66, 66 = -12 + d *(27-1). hence , d is equal to 3. a42 thus using the formula is equal to 111. The final answer to this problem is 111.
First, put it into point-slope form.
Find the slope:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-6-(-2)/(2-1)
m=(-6+2)/1
m=-4/1
m=-4
Now, put it into point-slope:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-2=-4(x-(-6)
y-2=-4(x+6)
y-2=-4x-24
Slope intercept form: y= mx+b
Add 2 to the other side.
y=-4x-22 <== the answer
I hope this helps!
