Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
If you map the sequence out, you get the following values:
a = 1, a(n) = 2
a = 2, a(n) = -3
a = 3, a(n) = -8
As you can see, the first term is 2 and the sequence is decreasing by 5 each time. Therefore, the answer is D.

Well there can be two different solutions for this but i will choose the easier one. Obviously one requires a system of equations which obviously will involve a lot of thinking and some good algebra solving in order for them to solve.
As for hit and trial it is very easy, we can just keep adding the distance as we know they are in different directions. 9 + 6 = 15. So 15 x 2 = 30 miles. So after around 2 hours they will be 30 miles apart if they continue at the same pace.
Answer: y = -x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
First, to find the slope of the line we will use: (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
Using the two points, we get: (8-1)/(1-8)
Simplify it: 7/-7
Finally, the slope is -1
We can now write: y = -x + b
Next we will plug in a point into the equation we have:
(8,1) --> 1 = -8 + b Then solve algebraically
b = 9
Then finish the equation:
y = -x + 9
