Answer:
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.
A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.
B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.
Hope this helps!
Answer: C (0,2)
Step-by-step explanation: Y intercept is when the x value is equal to 0. Find the value in the table where the x value is 0 and then look at the h(x) value or the y value to find the answer. In this case the point where x=0 h(x) = 2.
Just subtract 622 feet from 486 feet to get the change in elevation. The result will be negative because your friend's house is at a lower elevation than yours.
Now find the mean change in elevation per mile by dividing (486 ft - 622 ft) by 4 miles:
-136 ft
----------- = -34 ft/mile
4 mi
The constant term should be +6
