Answer:

an = 30 -5(n-1)  OR   an   = 35 - 5n

a20 =   -65

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an =a1 +d(n-1)

where a1 is the first term

d is the common difference

n is the term number

Substituting what we know

an = 30 -5(n-1)

We can rewrite this by distributing the 5

an = 30 -5n +5

     = 35 - 5n

The 20th term is n=20

a20 = 30 - 5(20-1)

       = 30 -5(19)          

      = 30 - 95

      = -65

Answer:

y = -5x + 30, 20th number is -70.

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is look at how much the equation is growing by and what the starting number is for the equation. to find the 20th figure, you plug 20 in for x and get -70.

Which postulate proves these two triangles are congruent?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

C. HL

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both triangles have a congruent hypotenuse (they share the same hypotenuse) and both have a 90° angle, with a congruent leg, then the postulate that proves these two triangles are congruent, would be the HL (hypotenuse leg) postulate.

A line has a slope of
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

b = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using point slope: y - y1 = m(x - x1).

Substitute your given slope, given point, and subsitute 0 in for x and solve for y since the y intercept is the y value when x = 0.

0.2 = 1/5, so 1/5 * 1/4 = 1/20

Therefore: y - 4/5 = 1/4(0 - 0.2) → y - 4/5 = -1/20 → y = 4/5 - 1/20 → 15/20 → <em>3/4</em>

State the slope and y-intercept for -y+8x=2x
WITCHER [35]
The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
m - a slope
b - y-intercept (0; b)

-y + 8x = 2x      |subtract 8x from both sides

-y = -6x      |change signs

y = 6x

Answer: The slope m = 6, y-intercept b = 0 -> (0; 0).
