Answer:
(0, 9 ) and (- 4, 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine which ordered pairs lie on the graph substitute the x- coordinate of the point into the right side of the equation and compare the value obtained with the y- coordinate
(- 20, - 49 )
2x + 9 = (2 × - 20) + 9 = - 40 + 9 = - 31 ≠ - 49
(1, 10 )
2x + 9 = (2 × 1) + 9 = 2 + 9 = 11 ≠ 10
(0, 9 )
2x + 9 = (2 × 0) + 9 = 0 + 9 = 9 ← point lies on graph
(- 4, 1 )
2x + 9 = (2 × - 4) + 9 = - 8 + 9 = 1 ← point lies on graph
(- 3, 40 )
2x + 9 = ( 2 × - 3) + 9 = - 6 + 9 = 3 ≠ 40
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
so that means that the y-intercept of
is
A(n) = current term
a(n + 1) = next term
in a geometric sequence, the next term comes from a product of the current term and the common ratio.
the common ratio can be any value, let's say use r = ½.
if the current term is say hmmm 40, the next term is 40*½ , or 20, so indeed, the next term is smaller.
