Hello,
The rate of change is the slope (rise/run, y/x). To find that, we use the equation (y2-y1) over (x2-x1). It means take the second "y" and subtract it from the first "y" and the same to "x". If I plug in the numbers, it would be (3-6) over (5-4), and after you subtract, the answer simplifies to: -3/ 1 which is -3. Yay! We got the slope (rate of change) done.
Now let's find the y-intercept by using the formula of point-slope form,
y-y1= m (slope) (x-x1). This is saying you "y" is subtracted from the first
"y" of the points which equals the slope (m) times the quantity of "x" subtracted by the first "x" of the points.
Let's plug the numbers in: y-6 = -3 (x-4). Let's distribute -3 to the parenthesis, and after that it should simplify to: y-6 = -3x + 12. To get "y" by itself, add 6 to both sides: y = -3x +18. We have finally found the slope-intercept equation for those two points (4,6) and (5,3). To then find the y-intercept in this equation, it would be the 18, because -3 is the slope, so that makes 18 the y-intercept.
In conclusion, the rate of change is -3 and the y-intercept is 18.
I hope this helps!

Find an explicit formula for the sequence 30\,,\,150\,,\,750\,,\,3750,...30,150,750,3750,...30, space, comma, space, 150, space,
OverLord2011 [107]
The series shown is an geometric series and the explicit formula is given by:
an=ar^(n-1)
where
a=first term
n=number of terms
r=common ratio
from the sequence:
a=30
r=5
thus the explicit formula will be:
an=30(5)^(n-1)
hence the answer is:
an=30(5)^(n-1)
Answer:
B and C work. A and D do not.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is one of those questions that you have to go through each answer to see what the results are. You don't have to go far to eliminate A and D so let's do that first.
A]
5n + 6
Let n = 1
5(1) + 6
5 + 6= 11
However there is trouble beginning with n = 2
5*2 + 6
10 + 6
16 All you need is one wrong answer and the choice is toast. So A won't work.
================
Try D
6(n - 1)+ 5
n=0
6*(-1) + 5
-6 + 5
- 1
And D has been eliminated with just 1 attempt. n= 2 or n = 1 would be even worse. D is not one of the answers.
=============
B
Let n = 1
6(1) + 5
6 + 5
11 The first term works.
n = 2
6*(2) + 5
12 + 5
17 and n = 2 works as well. Just in case it is hard to believe, let's try n = 3 because so far, everything is fine.
n = 3
6*(3) + 5
18 + 5
23 And this also works. I'll let you deal with n = 4
========
C
n = 0
6(0 + 1) + 5
6*1 + 5
6 + 5
11
n = 1
6(1 + 1) + 5
6*2 + 5
12 + 5
17 which works.
So C is an answer.
