Answer: y = 3/2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation: For a perpendicular line, take the reciprocal of "m" and reverse the sign.

- 2/3 becomes +3/2

Then substitute the y and x values of the given coordinate into the equation and solve for "b"

y = mx + b

-2 = 3/2(-2) + b

-2 = -3 + b

-2 +3 = b

+1 = b Substitute for b in y = (3/2)x + 1

What is the first term in a geometric sequence if the common ratio is − 2 and the sum of the first six terms is −105?

Serggg [28]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
r=-2\\
n=6\\
S_6=-105
\end{cases}$

$\bf -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(-2)^6}{1-(-2)} \right)\implies -105=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-(64)}{1+2} \right)
\\\\\\
-105=a_1\left( \cfrac{-63}{3} \right)\implies -105=a_1(-21)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-105}{-21}=a_1\implies 5=a_1$

PLEASE HELP 2. If f(x) = 3x2 – 7x + 2, then f(- 1) = ? (A) 18 B. 12 C.-2 D.-8.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer: B. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x2 – 7x + 2

f(- 1) = ?

f(-1)=3(-1)^2-7(-1)+2

=3(1)+7+2

=3+7+2

=12
