The equation for a finite geometric sequence is Sn=a1((1-r^n)/(1-r))

a1=1

r=.5/1=.5

n=5

Using the equation:

Sn=a1((1-r^n)/(1-r))=1((1-.5^5)/(1-.5))=1((1-.03125)/(1-.5))=1(.96875/.5)=1*1.9375=1.9375

Answer Choices:

A. 1/12 or .083

B. 93

C. -1/48 or -.02083

D. 31/16 or 1.9375

The Answer is D. 31/16

Mathematics Slope Mh
masya89 [10]

Answer:

y = - 2x - 6

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 )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 8)

m = \frac{-8+2}{1+2} = \frac{-6}{3} = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 2, - 2), then

- 2 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 4 = - 6

y = - 2x - 6 ← equation of line
