2 answers:
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>
The first line shown in choice A is which means "the first term is -2"
The next line in choice A means "the nth term () is found by multiplying the prior term (
) by 8". Put another way: multiply each term by 8 to get the next term.
first term = -2
second term = 8*(first term) = 8*(-2) = -16
third term = 8*(second term) = 8*(-16) = -128
fourth term = 8*(third term) = 8*(-128) = -1024
and so on.

Answer:
Area = 21/2 = 10.5 area units
Step-by-step explanation:
Two of the points are on the same line (the y-axis) as they both have x-coordinates of 0. This can thus be the base of your triangle.
Two more are on the same line (y= -9) as they both have the same y-coordinate of -9. This can be the height of your triangle.
So you have a base which is between -2 and -9 (7 units) and a height which is between 0 and 3 (3 units) so now just use the equation for area of a triangle
