Can someone help me understand this?

< means 'less than'. 3.5 is less than 4.5, so A is correct. Since -4.5 is NEGATIVE it is less than 0. As for C, since both numbers are negative, it would be the seemingly 'smaller' number that is actually bigger. It may help to think of the numbers on a number line. In the negatives, the numbers start to go in reverse, so the further from 0 a negative number is, the smaller it is. -4.5 IS LESS than -3.5. All answers are correct.

I'm pretty sure that all of them are correct because 4.5 is greater than 3.5, 0 is greater than -4.5, and -3.5 is greater than -4.5.

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of 1/3 and passes through point -2, one

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: y= 1/3 x + 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1= 1/3(-2) + b where b is the y intercept

1= -2/3 + B

+2/3 +2/3

B = 5/3

so we know the slope and the y- intercept

y= 1/3x + 5/3 check: 1=1/3(-2) +5/3

1 =1

What are the next three terms in the pattern 2, 6, 18, 54, ...?

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

OPTION B: 162, 486, 1458

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is 2, 6, 18, 54, . . .

It is a geometric sequence and the common difference is 3.

The general form of a geometric sequence is: a, ar, ar², ar³, . . .

Here a = 2 and r = 3.

$n^{th}$ term of a Geometric progression is $ar^{n - 1}$ .

Note that the fourth term is 54.

i.e., $ar^3 = 54$

$\implies ar^4 = ar^3 . r = 54 . 3 = 162$ .

Similarly, $ar^6 = 162 \times 3 = 486$ .

Also, $ar^7 = ar^6 . r = 486 \times 3 = 1458$ .

Hence, OPTION B is the answer.
