Answer:
a1 = 0.5; common ratio = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the common ratio = r
a2 = 2.5
a3 = 2.5r
a4 = 2.5r * r = 2.5r^2
We are told a4 = 62.5, so
2.5r^2 = 62.5
Divide both sides by 2.5
r^2 = 25
r = 5
a2 = a1 * r
a1 = a2/r = 2.5/5 = 0.5
Answer: a1 = 0.5; common ratio = 5
Expanded form means breaking the number into addition.

Answer:
y = 0x - 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the equation of the line
Step1: find the slope
( 0 , -2/3) ( 3 , -2/3)
m = (y_2 - y_1 )/ (x_2 - x_1)
x_1 = 0
y_1 = -2/3
x_2 = 3
y_2 = -2/3
Insert the values into the equation
m =( -2/3 - (-2/3) / (3 - 0)
= -2/3 + 2/3 / 3
= 0 / 3
m = 0
Step 2: sub m into the equation
y = mx + c
y = 0x + c
Step 3: sub any of the two points given into the eqn
y = 0x + c
Let's pick ( 3 , -2/3)
x = 3
y = -2/3
-2/3 = 0(3) + c
-2/3 = 0 + c
c = -2/3
Step4: sub c into the equation
y = mx + c
y = 0x + c
y = 0x - 2/3
Therefore, the equation of the line is
y = 0x - 2/3
so, no breaks on the denominator thus, the LCD will be all three then.

The numbers would be -1, 0, 1, 2.
Hope this helps
