a_n=5 \ for \ n=1 \\
a_n=-10 \ for \ n=2 \\
a_n=20 \ for \ n=3

You can see it's a geometric sequence because the ratio is constant (\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{a_2}{a_1}).
The nth term of a geometric sequence:
a_n=a_1 \times r^{n-1}

a_1=5 \\
r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{-10}{5}=-2 \\ \\
a_n=5(-2)^{n-1}

It has to be the sum for term 4 through term 15, so n=4 and the number above the sigma is 15.

Your answer:
\sum^{15}_{n=4} 5(-2)^{n-1}

What is the slope of the line shown?
Over [174]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Look at the y-intercept. The line crosses the y-axis at (0,7)

Follow it down, it goes down two and over one to directly intersect the grid.

Rise over run = 2/1

2/1 = 2

However, the line is negative, as it's sloping down from the left to the right, making the slope -2

What is the equation of a line parallel to y=1/2×+6 that passes through (-4,1)
IgorC [24]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and passes through (-4 , 1)

(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+4)\implies y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}x+2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+3
