Answer:

y-6 = -2(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-2-6)/(3--1)

= (-2-6)/(3+1)

= -8/4

= -2

Then we can point slope form where

y -y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and x1,y1 is a point

y-6 = -2(x--1)

y-6 = -2(x+1)

Answer:

y - 6 = -2(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: (-2-6)/(3--1)

= -8/4

= -2

y - 6 = -2(x - -1)

y - 6 = -2(x + 1)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given

$\sum\limits^\infty_{n=3}\frac{6}{n^2-1}=\sum\limits^\infty_{n=3}\frac{6}{(n-1)(n+1)}\\\\=\sum\limits^\infty_{n=3}\frac{6}{2}(\frac{1}{n-1}-\frac{1}{n+1})\\\\=\frac{6}{2}\sum\limits^\infty_{n=3}(\frac{1}{n-1}-\frac{1}{n+1})\\\\=3[(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4})+(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{5})+(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6})+(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{7})+...]\\\\=3[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}]=3[\frac{3+2}{6}]=3[\frac{5}{6}]\\\\=\frac{15}{6}=\frac{5}{3}$
