Find the slope of the line passing through the pair of points and describe the line as rising,falling,horizontal or vertical

1 answer:

4 0

To find the slope of a line, we must find the change in y values divided by the change in x values, given by the formula y2-y1/x2-x1 and represented by the variable m. We use our values from the ordered pairs to compute the slope, as follows:

m = (5-1)/(4-2) = 4/2 = 2

Therefore, the slope is 2. Because the slope is positive, this means that the line is rising.

Hope this helps!

Use mathematical induction to prove the statement is true for all positive integers n, or show why it is false:

kondaur [170]

$\text{Proof by induction:}$
$\text{Test that the statement holds or n = 1}$

$LHS = (3 - 2)^{2} = 1$
$RHS = \frac{6 - 4}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 = LHS$
$\text{Thus, the statement holds for the base case.}$

$\text{Assume the statement holds for some arbitrary term, n= k}$
$1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + (3k - 2)^{2} = \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2}$

$\text{Prove it is true for n = k + 1}$
$RTP: 1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2} = \frac{(k + 1)[6(k + 1)^{2} - 3(k + 1) - 1]}{2} = \frac{(k + 1)[6k^{2} + 9k + 2]}{2}$

$LHS = \underbrace{1^{2} + 4^{2} + 7^{2} + ... + (3k - 2)^{2}}_{\frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2}} + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1)}{2} + [3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 2[3(k + 1) - 2]^{2}}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 2(3k + 1)^{2}}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1) + 18k^{2} + 12k + 2}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} - 3k - 1 + 18k + 12) + 2}{2}$
$= \frac{k(6k^{2} + 15k + 11) + 2}{}$
$= \frac{(k + 1)[6k^{2} + 9k + 2]}{2}$
$= \frac{(k + 1)[6(k + 1)^{2} - 3(k + 1) - 1]}{2}$
$= RHS$

Since it is true for n = 1, n = k, and n = k + 1, by the principles of mathematical induction, it is true for all positive values of n.
