So hmm the first term is -2

and if we divide one term by the term before it, we'd get the "common ratio" "r"

so hmm say -32/8 that gives us -4, so r = -4

thus \bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a_1=\textit{first term}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=-2\\
r=-4
\end{cases}\implies a_n=-2(-4)^{n-1}

Find the unit rate and slope of the graph (ignore what I put down)
Vilka [71]

Answer:

slope: 5/7

0.714 mile per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

slope: find the point where the line is right on the line graph, put y/x which is 10/14 make the fraction smaller which is 10/14 = 5/7(I divide the denominator and nominator by 2)

Mile per hour: 5/7 cross multiply with x/1, make into an equation:

7x=5 x 1

7x = 5

x = 0.714
