Using Gauss's method
Total number of terms = [15-(-129)]/4+1=36+1=37
Add
S=15+11+7+....-125-129
S=-129-125-...+7+11+15
--------------------------------
2S=-114-114-114...(37 times)
=>
sum=S=(1/2)*(-114)*37=-2109


Using AP, T(n)=15+11+7+....-129
T(n)=19-4n  => T(1)=15, T(37)=-129
S(n)=(1/2)(37)(T(1)+T(37)=(1/2)37(15-129)=2109

What is the y-intercept of the line whose equation is y = x - 3?
zzz [600]
Because you are using the format y = mx +c the c value is the y offset.

in this equation the equation can be rewritten as y = 1x -3

Thus the y intercept, the y offset, must be -3.

Hope this helps! :)
