To find this, first find the factor or rate of which the numbers are moving. To do so do as follows.
subtract 1 from 3
3-1=2
So each number is having 2 added to it.
Now add two to 7 and the numbers afterwards till you get the 12th term
7+2=9
1+3+5+7+9
9+2=11
1+3+5+7+9+11
11+2=13
1+3+5+7+9+11+13
13+2=15
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15
15+2=17
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17
17+2=19
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19
19+2=21
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19+21
21+2=23
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19+21+23
So 23 is the 12th term
Hello LovingAngel!
To find the slope, you can use the formulas

as well as

. I am using the latter to calculate and ensuring my answer with the former.
[Note: (x,y) is the format for ordered pairs]
First pair: value 1:(1,5) and value 2:(2,8)

->

->

or 3.
The slope for (1,5) and (2,8) is 3(/1). Second pair: value 1: (3,1) value 2 (3,-1)

->

->
Slope for the second pair is -2/0Checking work with

1. Slope: 3/1, meaning rise (y) +3 and run (x) +1. (1,5) -> (1+1,5 + 3) -> (2,8) ✔
2. Slope: -2/0, meaning rise (y) -2/drop (y) 2 and run 0. (3,1) -> (3 + 0, 1 + -2) -> (3,-1) <span>✔</span>
After striking a pair of arcs from each endpoint of a line segment, just join the intersection point of the 1st pair (above the segment) with the intersection point
of the 2nd pair (under the segment)
And this is how you construct the segment's perpendicular bisector
The first answer, subtract 6 from 27, then divide by 3
