Step-by-step explanation:
In the Point-Slope Formula, all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.

The sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared! So, the short answer is that the sum of the first 70 odd numbers is 70 squared, i.e. 4900.
Allow me to prove the result: odd numbers come in the form 2n-1, because 2n is always even, and the number immediately before an even number is always odd.
So, if we sum the first N odd numbers, we have
The first sum is the sum of all integers from 1 to N, which is N(N+1)/2. We want twice this sum, so we have
The second sum is simply the sum of N ones:
So, the final result is
which ends the proof.
