= 7.
Ratio means multiply/divide.
To get the next number, multiply number by common ratio.
To get a previous number, divide by common ratio.
Since we want the next number...
2nd term: 7 x -2 = -14
3rd term: -14 x -2 = 28
4th term: 28 x -2 = -56
5th term: -56 x -2 = 112
Keep going until 9th term!
If you have covered function tranformations
is an exponential function, likely something like
but shifted upwards by 3 units and with a coefficient multiplying "x" something like "2"
so... try graphing in your calculator
Answer:
(6, 9) (3, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for each option using the slope formula:
Slope formula:
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
m = 4 - 5 / 1 - 4
m = -1/-3
m = 1/3
This is not 3.
m = 0 - 9 / 3 - 6
m = -9 / -3
m = 3
This has a slope of 3!
m = 0 - 0 / -6 - 3
m = 0/ -9
m = 0
This is not 3.
m = 2 - 1 / 0 - 3
m = 1/-3
m = -1/3
This is not 3.
