Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common difference, take the second term and subtract the first term
-2 - 5 = -7
Check by subtracting the second term from the third term
-9 - (-2) = -9+2 = -7
The common difference is -7
<u>Answer:</u>
- $2,800 = Principle + Interest
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Using PRT/100, let's find the interest.
- => 2,000 x 8 x 5/100
- => 20 x 8 x 5
- => $800
<u>Conclusion: </u>
Therefore, the interest plus principle is 2,000 + 800, which is $2,800.
Hoped this helped.

Answer:
x=3/2y+3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for x.
2x−3y=6
Step 1: Add 3y to both sides.
2x−3y+3y=6+3y
2x=3y+6
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.
2x2=3y+62
x=32y+3
The answer is: [B]: " x + 3y + 10 = 0 " .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Note the equation for a line; in 'slope-intercept form': "y = mx + b" ;
in which "y" is isolated alone, as a single variable, on the left-hand side of the equation;
"m" = the slope of the line; and is the co-efficient of "x" ;
b = the "y-intercept"; (or the "y-coordinate of the point of the "y-intercept").
______________________________________________________
So, given the information in this very question/problem:
______________________________________________________
slope = m = (-1/3) ;
b = y-intercept = (10/3) ;
______________________________________________________
And we can write the equation of the line; in "slope-intercept form"; that is:
______________________________________________________
" y = mx + b " ; as:
______________________________________________________
" y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) " ;
______________________________________________________
Now, the problem asks for the equation of this line; in "general form"; or "standard format"; which is:
________________________________________
"Ax + By + C = 0 " ;
________________________________________
So; given:
____________________________________
" y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) " ;
____________________________________
We can multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides) by "3" ; to get rid of the "fractions" ;
→ 3* { y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) } ;
→ 3y = -1x + 10 ;
↔ -1x + 10 = 3y ;
Subtract "(3y)" from each side of the equation:
____________________________________
-1x + 10 − 3y = 3y − 3y ;
to get:
-1x + 10 − 3y = 0 ;
↔ -1x − 3y − 10 = 0 ;
→ This is not one of the "3 (THREE) answer choices given" ;
→ So, multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides); by "-1" ; as follows:
-1 * {-1x − 3y − 10 = 0} ;
to get:
______________________________________________________
→ " x + 3y + 10 = 0 " ; which is: "Answer choice: [B] ."
______________________________________________________
Note that is equation is in the "standard format" ;
→ " Ax + By + C = 0 " .
