Answer:

The new slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of any two points can be found by:

$slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Finding slope of (3,7) (4,9)

$slope=\frac{9-7}{4-3}\\slope=\frac{2}{1}\\slope=2$

Finding slope of (4,9) (5,11)

$slope=\frac{11-9}{5-4}\\slope=\frac{2}{1}\\slope=2$

So, the slope of the line is 2

Now if slope is divided by 2, new slope will be:

$slope = \frac{2}{2}\\slope=1$

So, The new slope is 1

If x represents the probability of an event happening, then which of the following represents the probability that the event wil

Bad White [126]

If the turn out of an event is to take place or not to take place only then, the sum of the probability of it taking place and not taking place is 1. If we represent the probability of it taking place by x then, the probability of it not taking place is equal to 1 - x.

Find 10 partial sums of the series. (round your answers to five decimal places.) ∞ 15 (−4)n n = 1

nikklg [1K]

Given

$\Sigma_{n=1}^\infty15(-4)^n$

The first 10 partial sums are as follows:

$S_1=\Sigma_{n=1}^{1}15(-4)^n=15(-4)=\bold{-60} \\ \\ S_2=\Sigma_{n=1}^{2}15(-4)^n=\Sigma_{n=1}^{1}15(-4)^n+15(-4)^2 \\ =-60+15(16)=-60+240=\bold{180} \\ \\ S_3=\Sigma_{n=1}^{3}15(-4)^n=\Sigma_{n=1}^{2}15(-4)^n+15(-4)^3 \\ =180+15(-64)=180-960=\bold{-780} \\ \\ S_4=\Sigma_{n=1}^{4}15(-4)^n=\Sigma_{n=1}^{3}15(-4)^n+15(-4)^4 \\ =-780+15(256)=-780+3,840=\bold{3,060} \\ \\ S_5=\Sigma_{n=1}^{5}15(-4)^n=\Sigma_{n=1}^{4}15(-4)^n+15(-4)^5 \\ =3,060+15(-1,024)=3,060-15,360=\bold{-12,300}$

$S_6=\Sigma_{n=1}^{6}15(-4)^n=\Sigma_{n=1}^{5}15(-4)^n+15(-4)^6 \\ =-12,300+15(4,096)=-12,300+61,440=\bold{49,140}$

The rest of the partial sums can be obtained in similar way.
