Answer:
The slope of the line is -9/7.
Step-by-step explanation:
When we want to find the slope of any line, the main idea is to find the coordinate of any two points on the line. In this case that part of the job is already done, because we have the coordinates of the point G and H.
The next step is to use the formula for the slope of a line, this is
where stands for the slope, and
and
are the coordinates of the two points.
In this case, let us consider and
. So,

The infinite sequence of geometric terms is divergent if you try to add up all the terms. Sure the first 20 terms will add up to a fixed number but this isn't true for an infinite number of terms. The reason why the infinite series diverges is because r = 1.1 is larger than 1. If r > 1 then the infinite series diverges. It only converges if -1 < r < 1.
To write this in sigma notation, you would write
which is the result of adding the terms of 100(1.1)^(n-1) for n = 1 all the way up to n = 20. You can compute this by hand or preferably with a calculator or spreadsheet program
