Answer is a1 = 7

Using equation (derived from formula to find sum of values in a geometric series),
77 \:  =  \frac{a(1 - (  { - 2}^{5}))}{1 - ( - 2)}
Hence, solve for a.

Given two points m and n on the coordinate plane, find the slope of line mn, and state the slope of the line perpendicular to li
ololo11 [35]
The slope of the line MN where M (9,6) and N (1,4) can be obtained by obtaining the rate of the rise over the run. This is shown below:

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (4 - 6)/(1 - 9) = (-2)/(-8)
m1 = 1/4

The slope of the line perpendicular to line MN can be obtained by taking the negative reciprocal of the slope of line MN.

m1 = 1/4
m2 = -1/m1 = -1/(1/4) = -4

Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to line MN is -4.

At Best Burgers, Jack collected sales data on the type of side order served with each type of burger purchased for a week. Jack
horsena [70]

The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

60 pounds of onion rings and 60 hamburgers.

Explanation:

Jack serves a half pound of onion rings with every burger.  He serves 120 bacon cheeseburgers.  To find the number of pounds of onion rings, we multiply 1/2 pound by 120 burgers:

1/2(120) = 1/2(120/1) = (1*120)/(2*1) = 120/2 = 60 pounds of onion rings.

There were 8 hamburgers served out of the first 40 orders.  If this rate continues, then to find the number of hamburgers out of 300 orders, we multiply 8/40 by 300:

8/40(300) = 8/40(300/1) = (8*300)/(40*1) = 2400/40 = 60

There would be 60 hamburgers.
