Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The line in slope-intercept form,
y = mx + b
has slope m.
In this case, m = -1/2
Slope = -1/2
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
1st way: We can find the slope of the line by plugging the two points into the slope formula. If you do, slope would be (-3/2-3/2)/(-3/2-3/2) which simplifies to -3/-3 which is 1. The slope is 1.
2nd way: You can just use logic to figure it out because since the x and y in both of the points are equal to each other, we know that the slope has to be 1.
A - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2
Solve for A by adding 2 1/2 to both sides:
A = 1 1/2 + 2 1/2
A = 4
The answer is c. A = 4
Check: 4 - 2 1/2 = 1 1/2
Let's rewrite the given sequence :1/3, 1, 5/3, 7/3 . Notice that 1 =3/3, then
1/3, 3/3, 5/3, 7/3,...We also notice that the common difference d is equal to:
3/3 - 1/3 = 2/3 and 5/3 - 3/3 = 2/3 & 7/3 - 5/3 = 2/3
Hence this sequence is NOT A GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION but an ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION,instead with d = 2/3
