Answer:

15. -2 16. 0 17. undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of two points can be calculated by (y change) / (x change).

(y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

15) (1-5) / (4-2) = -2

16) (6-6) / (1-10) = 0 since y change is 0.

17) (-5-3) / (4-4) = undefined since x change is 0 but you cannot devide by 0.

What is 8/10 divided by 1 5/6

sveta [45]

1st change 1 5/6 into a mixed number:
1 5/6 = 11/6

New problem:
8/10 divided by 11/6

to divide fractions you turn the 1st fraction upside down and then change the division sign to a multiplication sign:

8/10 / 11/6
10/8 * 11/6

An arithmetic sequence has this recursive formula:

horsena [70]

Answer:

$\text{\bf{C.}}\quad a_n=4+(n-1)(-7)$

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence that is described by the explicit formula ...

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)d$

can also be described by the recursive formula ...

$\left \{\begin{array}{l}a_1=\text{(first term)}&a_n=a_{n-1}+d&\end{array}\right.$

Matching parts of the formulas, we see that a1 = 4, d = -7. Putting these values into the explicit formula gives ...

$a_n=4+(n-1)(-7)$
