Answer:
y = -3/2x + 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Point: (5, -5)
Parallel to: y = -3/2x + 2
Slope= -3/2 (parallel lines have the same slope)
y-intercept = -5 - (-3/2)(5) (y - slope times x) =
-5 + 15/2 = 5/2
Using geometric sequence concepts, it is found that:
a) The rule is:
.
b) An exponential relationship exists between the two variables.
<h3>What is a geometric sequence?</h3>
A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.
The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

In which
is the first term.
A geometric sequence represents an exponential relationship between the variables.
In this problem, considering that the first-place finisher wins half of $1.500.000 in total prize money, and each finisher earns half of the one who finished above, the first term and the common ratio are given by:
.
Hence the nth term of the sequence is given by:
