According to Gauss, the formula to find the sum of a series is:

S=n(n+1)/2 where n is the number of terms in the series

Since n=2000, then:

S=2000(2000+1)/2

S=4002000/2

S=2001000

The famous mathematician Gauss had used this same method to find the sum of the digits 1 to 100 while in elementary school. So the sum of the first 2000 positive integers is 2,001,000

Find an equation for the line that passes through the points (-2,-6) and (6,-4)
JulsSmile [24]
Slope of line
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(-4--6)/(6--2)
=2/8
=1/4

Line in two point form
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
y--2=(1/4)(x-6)
y+2=(1/4)(x-6)
simplify
4(y+2)=x-6 =>
x-4y-14=0
Alternatively, use the slope intercept form:
y--2=(1/4)(x-6) =>
y=(1/4)x - 3/2-2 =>
y=(1/4)x -7/2
