What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-1, -2) and (2, 4)

Mathematics

Answer:

y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula is y = mx + b

m is slope

slope = (4 - -2) / (2 - -1) = 6 / 3 = 2

Now equation is y = 2x + b

To find b, substitute one of the coordinates in the equation. Let's use (2,4)

y = 2x + b

4 = 2(2) + b

b = 0

So equation is y = 2x

Find the 6th term of a geometric sequence t3 = 444 and t7 = 7104. So I have to find r. But is this right: 7104 = 444r^4 r^4 = 16
galben [10]

Third term = t3 = ar^2 = 444           eq. (1)

Seventh term = t7 = ar^6 = 7104         eq. (2)

By solving (1) and (2) we get,

              ar^2 = 444    

                => a = 444 / r^2       eq. (3)

And  ar^6 = 7104

 (444/r^2)r^6 = 7104

 444 r^4 = 7104

 r^4 = 7104/444

            = 16

 r2 = 4

 r = 2

Substitute r value in (3)

                         a = 444 / r^2

                             = 444  / 2^2

                             = 444 / 4

                              = 111

Therefore a = 111 and r = 2

Therefore t6 = ar^5

                       = 111(2)^5

                       = 111(32)

                       = 3552.

<span>Therefore the 6th term in the geometric series is 3552.</span>

Roberto’s cat weighed 6 3/4 pounds last year.Then the cat gained 1 1/2 pounds.How much does the cat weigh now?
hammer [34]
Add the gain and the last weight together
new weight = 6 3/4 + 1 1/2
or we can write it as
new weight = 6 + 3/4 + 1 + 1/2

Separate whole numbers and fraction
new weight = 6 + 3/4 + 1 + 1/2
new weight = 6 + 1 + 3/4 + 1/2

Simplify the whole numbers
new weight = 6 + 1 + 3/4 + 1/2
new weight = 7 + 3/4 + 1/2

Equalize the denominators of the fraction
new weight = 7 + 3/4 + 1/2
new weight = 7 + 3/4 + 2/4
new weight = 7 + 5/4

Because 5/4 is improper fraction, change it to mixed fraction
new weight = 7 + 5/4
new weight = 7 + 1 1/4
new weight = 7 + 1 + 1/4
new weight = 8 + 1/4
new weight = 8 1/4

The cat weights 8 1/4 pounds now

What is the perimeter of the parallelogram???
enot [183]
Answer: 22

explanation: the easiest way is to separate one of the diagonals into a triangle and use the pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
4^2 + 3^3 = c^2
16 + 9 = c^2
25 = c^2
5 = c
you now know that both of the diagonals have a length of 5.
by counting the units on the two straight, you know that their length is 6.
6 + 6 + 5 + 5 = 22
