Answer:

y = 1/4 x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to find the slope which is difference of the y's over difference of the x's. so (3-1)/(2-(-6)). ---> 2/8 ---> 1/4. the slope is 1/4.

pick one of the coordinates and plug in the y and x, solving for the y intercept. so:

3=1/4 * 2 + a

3=1/2 + a

a = 3 - 1/2

a = 5/2

so:

y = 1/4 x + 5/2

$r=-4-(-9)=-4+9=5 \\ \\ a_{1}=-9 \\ \\ a_{n}=66 \\ \\ a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)r \\ \\ -9+5(n-1)=66 \\ \\ -9+5n-5=66 \\ \\ 5n-14=66 \\ \\ 5n=80 \\ \\ n=16 \\ \\ S_{n}= \frac{a_{1}+a_{n}}{2} *n \\ \\ S_{n}= \frac{-9+66}{2}*16=57*8=456$

0.33 in a fraction simplest

Allushta [10]

That's 33/100 and can't be simplified. If you had said that the 3s keep going and never end, then it would have been 1/3. But as written, it's just 33/100.
