$-15;-6;\ 3;\ 12;...\\\\a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\\\a_1=-15;\ a_2=-6\\\\d=a_2-a_1\to d=-6-(-15)=-6+15=9\\\\a_n=-15+(n-1)\cdot9=\boxed{-15+9(n-1)}$

Answer:

A. 525 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If every hour their altitude increased by 135 then their would be an increase of 675 (135 × 5) after 5 hours. To find their altitude 5 hours earlier then you would subtract 675 from their current altitude. 1,200-675=525 feet

You know that 12x=60, and that x=5. Which property of equality would you use to conclude that 12•5=60?

alexandr402 [8]

ANSWER

The substitution property of equality.

EXPLANATION

We know that:

$12x = 60$

and that

$x = 5$

Since x=5 or 5=x , we can substitute x for 5 wherever we see x in the given equation.

When we do that, we obtain;

$12 \bullet \: 5 = 60$

This is what we refer to as the substitution property of equality.

The distance between the points (12,9) and (0,4) is A) 14 units B) 13 units C) 15 units D) 16 units

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Option B 13 units is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used to find distance between 2 points is:

$d(P1,P2)=\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }$

x₁ = 12 x₂ = 0 y₁= 9 and y₂=4

Putting values in the formula:

$=\sqrt{(0-12)^2+(4-9)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-12)^2+(-5)^2}\\=\sqrt{144+25} \\=\sqrt{169} \\=13$

So, Option B 13 units is correct.

Write an equation in slope-Intercept form for the line with slope 2/5 and y- ntercept - 3 .

Trava [24]

Answer:

y = $\frac{2}{5}$ x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = $\frac{2}{5}$ and c = - 3 , then

y = $\frac{2}{5}$ x - 3 ← equation of line
