Consecutive numbers are always 1 away from each other
3,4

so consecutive is represented by
x and x+1
so sum is -171
x+x+1=-171
add like terms
2x+1=-171
subtract 1 from both sides
2x=-172
divide both sides by 2
x=-86
subustitute
x+1=otehr number
x+1=-86+1=-85
answer is -85 and -86

What is the equation of a line going through points (-15,70) and (5,10)
andrey2020 [161]
Simple....

you have:

(-15,70) and (5,10)

Using-->>

\frac{  y_{1} -y_{2} }{ x_{1}-  x_{2} }

\frac{70-10}{-15-5} = \frac{60}{-20} = -3

Using y=mx+b...and any of the coordinates....

70= -3(-15)+b

70=45+b

70=45+b
-45  -45

25=b

y=-3x+25

Thus,your answer.

Please help i don’t understand

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First of, let's make a table for y = cos(x)

(x , y): (0 , 1) (π/2 , 0) (π , -1) (3π/2 , 0) (2π , 1)

Now, making a table for y = 2cos(x) is simple. We just have to multiply all the y-values from the previous table by 2.

(x , y): (0 , 2) (π/2 , 0) (π , -2) (3π/2 , 0) (2π , 2)

Graphing these coordinates, we find that the answer is D.
