The first term will be 3 and the sum of the first 9 terms will be 81.
<h3>What is Arithmetic progression?</h3>
The difference between every two successive terms in a sequence is the same this is known as an arithmetic progression (AP).
The arithmetic progression has wider use in mathematics for example sum of natural numbers.
Natural number = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...
Given,
Six terms as 10.5
So,
a₆ = 10.5
Common difference(d) = 1.5
The nth term of an AP is given by
= a + (n-1)d
So,
a₆ = a + (6-1)d
10.5 = a + 5(1.5)
a = 3
Now,
The Sum of n terms is given by
S = n/2[2a + (n-1)d]
S = 9/2[6 + 8(1.5)]
S = 81
Hence the first term will be 3 and the sum of 9 terms will be 81.

Answer:
<h2>A) y = -5x - 8</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

m - slope
(x₁, y₁) - point on a line
We have the slope m = -5, and the point (-1, -3). Substitute:

Convert to the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
<em>use the distributive property</em>
<em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>

Cancelling out both the -6 we get 12=0 which is not true, hence the equation is incorrect.
Answer:
33k - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
=> 8k-5(-5k+3)
=> 8k+25k-15
=> 33k - 15
