Y = mx + c

7= (-5)(-2)+ c

7= 10 +c

7-10=c

-3=c

Equation of the line: y = -5x-3

Sub in (a, 2)

2= - 5(a)-3

2+3= -5a

5= - 5a

1= - a

A = -1

What is the sum of the geometric sequence −4, 24, −144, ... if there are 8 terms?

Helga [31]

Answer:

The sum of 8 geometric sequence is 959780

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

this sequence is geometric

-4 , 24 , -144

First term is -4

so, $a_1=-4$

now, we can find common ratio

$r=\frac{24}{-4}=-6$

we can use formula

$S_n=a_1(\frac{1-r^n}{1-r} )$

n=8

now, we can plug values

$S_8=-4(\frac{1-(-6)^{8}}{1+6} )$

now, we can simplify it

and we get

$S_8=959780$

Solve 5x - 8y = 11 for y.

disa [49]

Answer:

y = $\frac{5x-11}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5x - 8y = 11 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 8y = 11 - 5x ( multiply through by - 1 )

8y = - 11 + 5x = 5x - 11 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y = $\frac{5x-11}{8}$
