Answer:

y=-2x + 8 which is the required equation

Which is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slope = m = -2

Given points are ( -2,12)

Which is

x = -2 and y =12

TO find:

Equation of line passing through these points = ?

Solution:

The point slope form of a line is

y = mx + c

Here we don't know the value of c

To find it

Putting y = 12 , x= -2 and y = -2 in the given equation

y = mx + c

Putting values it becomes

12 = (-2)*(-2) + c

12 = 4 + c

Subtracting 4 from both sides

12-4 = 4 -4 + c

8 = c

Now we have

m = -2 and c= 8

So equation of a line is given by

y = mx + c

Putting value of m and c

y = -2*x + 8

y=-2x + 8 which is the required equation

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

slope : m

pass through the point : ( a , b )

then you can write down the equation :

y - b = m ( x - a )

from the question

the equation is

y - 12 = -2 ( x - ( - 2 ) )

y - 12 = -2 ( x + 2 )

y - 12 = -2x - 4

y = -2x +8

Answer the problem and show all work.

Member Price = 30 + 3x

Non-member Price = 6x

x = the tickets they buy.

We want 30 + 3x = 6x

So, first we subtract 3x from each side and are left with:

30 = 3x

Then, divide each side by 3.

10 = x

So, the cost of 10 tickets is the same more non-members and members.

We can also check it:

Member Price: 30 + 3(10)

30 + 30 = 60

Non-member Price: 6(10)

60

Answer:

a) -7/9

b) 16 / (n² + 15n + 56)

c) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When n = 1, there is only one term in the series, so a₁ = s₁.

a₁ = (1 − 8) / (1 + 8)

a₁ = -7/9

The sum of the first n terms is equal to the sum of the first n−1 terms plus the nth term.

sₙ = sₙ₋₁ + aₙ

(n − 8) / (n + 8) = (n − 1 − 8) / (n − 1 + 8) + aₙ

(n − 8) / (n + 8) = (n − 9) / (n + 7) + aₙ

aₙ = (n − 8) / (n + 8) − (n − 9) / (n + 7)

If you wish, you can simplify by finding the common denominator.

aₙ = [(n − 8) (n + 7) − (n − 9) (n + 8)] / [(n + 8) (n + 7)]

aₙ = [n² − n − 56 − (n² − n − 72)] / (n² + 15n + 56)

aₙ = 16 / (n² + 15n + 56)

The infinite sum is:

∑₁°° aₙ = lim(n→∞) sₙ

∑₁°° aₙ = lim(n→∞) (n − 8) / (n + 8)

∑₁°° aₙ = 1
