$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{35})\qquad
(\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-31})
\\\\\\
slope = m\implies
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-31-35}{-6-5}\implies \cfrac{-66}{-11}\implies 6
\\\\\\

Using geometric sequence concepts, it is found that:

a) The rule is: $P_n = 750000(0.5)^{n-1}$ .

b) An exponential relationship exists between the two variables.

<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1q^{n-1}$

In which $a_1$ is the first term.

A geometric sequence represents an exponential relationship between the variables.

In this problem, considering that the first-place finisher wins half of $1.500.000 in total prize money, and each finisher earns half of the one who finished above, the first term and the common ratio are given by:

$a_1 = 750000, q = 0.5$ .
