The common ratio is -8/4 = -2. The general formula for the n-th term is ...
... an = a1·r^(n-1) . . . . . . note the use of the caret (^) and parentheses
For r = -2 and a1 = 4, this becomes ...
... an = 4·(-2)^(n-1) . . . . approximately matches the 2nd selection

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
It is easiest to compare the equations when they are written in the same form.
The first set can be written in slope-intercept form.
y = 2x +7
y = 2x +7 . . . . add 2x
These equations are <em>identical</em>, so have infinitely many solutions.
__
The second set can be written in standard form.
y +4x = -5
y +4x = -10
These equations <em>differ only in their constant</em>, so have no solutions.
__
The third set is already written in slope-intercept form. The equations have <em>different slopes</em>, so have exactly one solution.
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Note:
<u>Graphing From An Equation: </u>
Equation are frequently written in slope-intercept form { y = mx+b}.
Which "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.
<u>Solutions and Equation:</u>
Solutions to linear equations contain any points located on the graphed line.
Ordered Pair = Solution to an equation if it's values are substituted in the equation which makes it true
Solve:
{x = 0 } 3(0) - 4y = 12
-4y = 12 (0, -3 )
-4y/-4 = 12/-4
y = -3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{y = 0} 3x-4(0) =12
3x = 12 (4,0)
3x/3 = 12/3
x = 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
