Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, use the point and the slope in point-slope form. Then solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -2(x - 1)

y - 5 = -2x + 2

y = -2x + 7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rec tangle is A x W

but first you have to find the area of the triangle wich is going to be 127.5.

Then you have to multiply 127.5 times 15.

And that will give you 1,912.5.

I think this is correct, but im not sure.

Which choice is the explicit formula for the following geometric sequence?0.5, -0.1, 0.02, -0.004, 0.0008, ...

Minchanka [31]

$a_1=0.5\\a_2=-0.1\\a_3=0.02\\a_4=-0.004\\a_5=0.0008\\\\a_n=a_1\cdot q^{n-1}\\\\q=a_2:a_1\to q=-0.1:0.5=-0.2\\\\a_n=0.5\cdot(-0.2)^{n-1}=0.5\cdot(-0,2)^n\cdot(-0.2)^{-1}\\\\=0.5\cdot(-0.2)^n\cdot(-5)=-2.5\cdot(-0.2)^n\\\\\boxed{a_n=-2.5\cdot(-0.2)^n}$
