Kenny's score on his 72nd game played is 961

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that the first 5 score of Kenny are listed below:

38, 51, 64, 77, 90

Kenny's scores follow a pattern

<em><u>To find: Kenny's score on his 72nd game played</u></em>

Let us first find the pattern followed

38, 51, 64, 77, 90

<em><u>Find the difference between terms</u></em>

51 - 38 = 13

64 - 51 = 13

77 - 64 = 13

90 - 77 = 13

So the difference between terms is constant

So the sequence is arithmetic sequence

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant

<em><u>The formula for nth term of arithmetic sequence is given as:</u></em>

a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

a_n = the nᵗʰ term in the sequence

a_1 = the first term in the sequence

d = the common difference between terms

Here d = 13 and a_1 = 38

So we get,

a_n = 38 + (n-1) \times 13

<em><u>To find the score of 72nd game, substitute n = 72</u></em>

a_{72} = 38 + (72-1) \times 13\\\\a_{72} = 38 + 71 \times 13\\\\a_{72} = 38 + 923\\\\a_{72} = 961

Thus Kenny's score on his 72nd game played is 961

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-1, 4) and (0, 2).
arsen [322]

Answer:

y=-2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

<u>1) Determine the slope</u>

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where the two given points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (-1, 4) and (0, 2)

=\frac{2-4}{0-(-1)}\\=\frac{-2}{0+1}\\=\frac{-2}{1}\\= -2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=-2x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept</u>

y=-2x+b

Recall that the y-intercept is the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis, meaning that the y-intercept occurs when x is equal to 0.

One of the given points is (0,2). Notice how y=2 when x=0. Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 2.

Plug this back into the equation:

y=-2x+2

I hope this helps!

Which linear equation could David use to determine y, the total distance he could swim without stopping to rest?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

I would say C

Step-by-step explanation:

because I think that 15 is the slope and the 35 is the y intercept. I could be wrong but that would be my guess

For perimeter you just add the sides up, so 15+12+9 which = 36
