Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we use the formula

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

= (5-8)/(-2-3)

= -3/-5

=3/5

The slope is 3/5

$\bf c(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad d(\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-8}{-2-3}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-5}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}$

Find the 10th partial sum of the arithmetic sequence defined by

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you expand the series, you can see the first few terms of the series:

Putting 1 in $n$ , $\frac{1}{2}(1)-\frac{1}{2}=0$
Putting 2 in $n$ , $\frac{1}{2}(2)-\frac{1}{2}=0.5$
Putting 3 in $n$ , $\frac{1}{2}(3)-\frac{1}{2}=1$
Putting 4 in $n$ , $\frac{1}{2}(4)-\frac{1}{2}=1.5$

We can see the series is 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, ....

This is an arithmetic series with common difference (the difference in 2 terms) 0.5 and first term 0.

We know formula for sum of arithmetic series:

$s_{n}=\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)$

Where,

$S_{n}$ denotes the nth partial sum
$a$ is the first term (in our case it is 0)
$n$ is the term (in our case it is 10 since we want to find 10th partial sum -- sum until first 10 terms)
$d$ is the common difference (difference in term and the previous term) (in our case it is 0.5)
