The first term of this series (a+1) is 1 and the common ratio (r) is -3.
Thus, the explicit formula is a_n = 1*(-3)^(n-1).
Must check this! suppose we try to calculate the 3rd term. Then n = 3.
a_3 = 1*(-3)^(3-1) = (-3)^2 = 9. This is correct.
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
because i siad so
name the points
a=(x1,y1) b=(x2,y2)
a=(6,8) b=(9,10)
use the slope formula

replace

answer= The slope is equal to 2/3
a=(9,10) b=(6,8)
using the formula

slope will also be 2/3
Answer: n = 17
