The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points A(-6, 6) and B(12, 3). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{3-6}{12-(-6)}=\dfrac{-3}{18}=-\dfrac{3:3}{18:3}=-\dfrac{1}{6}

Therefore we have y=-\dfrac{1}{6}x+b.

Put the coordinates of the point B to the equation:

3=-\dfrac{1}{6}(12)+b

3=-2+b          <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

5=b\to b=5

Answer:

m=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\b=5

What’s the answer for a, and b, and how would you solve it?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

a) negative

b) -7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The x value increased, but the y value decreased so the line goes down and has a negative slope

(y₁-y₂)/(x₁-x₂) is the slope where (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are points on the line

(4-(-3))/(-1-5)=7/-6

To find the third term substitute n = 3 into the n th term formula

a(3) = \frac{3}{2}(-2)^{3-1}
