The points (7,r) and (8,9) fall on a line with a slope of 5. What is the value of r?

Mathematics

Answer:

r = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula and equate to 5

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, r ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 9)

m = \frac{9-r}{8-7} = \frac{9-r}{1} = 9 - r = 5 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

- r = - 4 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

r = 4

The equation w = 6m+4, relates how a dog's weight varies with age, where m represents its age in months, and the w represents it
natima [27]

Answer:

<h3>9 months</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the relationship of the dogs weight ang its age modeled by the equation;

w = 6m+4

m represents its age in months, and;

w represents its weight in pounds

Given

w = 58pounds

Required

number of months m before the dog weigh 58pounds;

Substitute w = 58 into the function and get m as shown;

w = 6m + 4

58 = 6m + 4

subtract 4 from both sides

58-4 = 6m+4-4

54 = 6m

divide both sides by 6

54/6 = 6m/6

9 = m

m = 9

Hence it will take 9months before the dog will weigh 58 pounds

Answer:

A seven digit number

Step-by-step explanation:

A password made up of digits is less likely to relate to your life (harder to guess) than a five letter word.

Indicate the general rule for the arithmetic sequence with a3 = -12 and a8 = -37
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The general rule is a_n = -2 - 5(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and this difference is called common difference.

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d

In which a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

We can also find the nth term as a function of a term m, using:

a_n = a_m + (n-m)d

a3 = -12 and a8 = -37

First we find the common difference. So

a_n = a_m + (n-m)d

a_8 = a_3 + (8-3)d

-37 = -12 + 5d

5d = -25

d = -\frac{25}{5}

d = -5

So

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

Finding the first term:

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

Since a_3 = -12

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

a_3 = a_1 - 5(3-1)

a_1 = a_3 + 10 = -12 + 10 = -2

So the general rule is:

a_n = a_1 - 5(n-1)

a_n = -2 - 5(n-1)
