Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given:$ Line segment PQ with points P(-2.5) and Q(-1,1)

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (1 - 5)/(-1 - (-2)) = -4/1 = -4

<u>The Volume of a Square Pyramid</u>

Given a square-based pyramid of base side a and height h, the volume can be calculated with the formula:

$\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3}a^2h$

We are given a square pyramid with a base side a=14 ft but we're missing the height. It can be calculated by using the right triangle shown in the image attached below, whose hypotenuse is 25 ft and one leg is 7 ft

We use Pythagora's theorem:

$25^2=h^2+7^2$

Solving for h:

$h^2=25^2-7^2=625-49=576$

$h=\sqrt{576}=24$

The height is h=24 ft. Now the volume is calculated:

$\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3}*14^2*24$

V = 1,568

Lucia knows the fourth term in a sequence is 55 and the ninth term in the same sequence is 90. Explain how she can find the comm

Andreyy89

Using the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression.
an = a + (n - 1)d
a(4) = a + 3d = 55
a(9) = a + 8d = 90
a(9) - a(4) => 5d = 35
d = 35/5 = 7.
From a(4): a = 55 - 3d = 55 - 3(7) = 55 - 21 = 34

a(2) = a + d = 34 + 7 = 41.
