To the risk of sounding redundant.

notice it goes from 10, to 5, to 2.5 and so forth, the next term is half the previous one, namely the multiplier, or "common ratio" is 1/2.

10 * 1/2 is 5, 5 * 1/2 is 2.5 and so on.

now, the Sum is going to infinity, however, when the common ratio is a fraction less than 1 and more than 0, either negative or positive, it is convergent, namely it reaches a limit, it doesn't go to neverland.

so, in this case, the common ratio is indeed | r | < 1, and therefore, it does reach a limit, keeping in mind the first term's value is 10.

\bf \textit{Sum of an infinite sequence}\\\\&#10;S=\sum\limits_{i=0}^\infty~a_1\cdot r^i,\quad |~r~|~

Notice this is a geometric progression since each number multiplied by some factor equals the next number in the sequence, in this case,

10 \times r = 5 \Rightarrow r=0.5

Then by applying the formula for sum to infinity of a geometric progression,
S_\infty = \frac{a}{1-r} = \frac{10}{1-0.5} = 20

Answer:

For question 3, you would just add 2 to the x values and subtract 2 from the y values, so it would be:

J' (-2, 5)

K' (2, 6)

L' (1, 2)

M' (-3, 1)

For question 4 you would subtract 7 from the x values and 6 from the y values, and that would be:

W' (-6, 1)

X' (-1, -1)

Y' (-3, -6)

Z' (-8, -4)

For question 9 you would end up with:

X' (6, -5)

Y' (7, 1)

Z' (4, 0)

For question 10 you would end up with:

Q' (-1, 2)

R' (1, 7)

S' (-2, 6)

T' (-4, 1)

For question 11 you would end up with:

L' (4, 1)

M' (8, 5)

N' (6, 7)

P' (2, 3)

For question 12 you would end up with:

G' (6, -7)

H' (6, -4)

I' (1, -7)

Hope this is what you were looking for!
