M = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (4-14)/3-1
= -10/2
= -5

A line passes through the points (15,−13) and (16,−11). Hollis writes the equation y+13=(x−15) to represent the line. Which answ

Andru [333]

The equation formula is y - y1 = m(x-x1)

Using the first point for x1, y1:

Y +13 = m(x-15)

M is the slope which is the change in y over the change in x:

M = -11–13 / 16-15 = 2/1 = 2

The equation becomes y +13 =2(x+15)

The answer is:

He incorrectly wrote the slope in his equation. He should have written y+13=2(x−15).

In the recursive formula an = an−1 + 5, the value of the previous term is represented by

den301095 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

In the recursive formula an = an−1 + 5

$a_n = a_{n-1}+5$

Suppose if a_5 is the nth term then previous term is a_4

To get the previous term we need to subtract 1 from the n

So a_n is the nth term

$a_{n-1}$ is the previous term

Here 5 represents the common difference between two terms

So value of previous term is represented by

$a_{n-1}$

Answer : $a_{n-1}$
