Answer:

c = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common difference be c.  Then a(n) = -3 + c(n-1).  Since a(15) = 53, a(15) = -3 + (15-1)c = 53.  Therefore, -3 + 14c = 53, or 14c = 56; c = 4.

Compare the line passing through the points (–2, –9) and (4, 6) to the line given by the equation y = 25x – 4.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

D. They have the same y-intercep

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the comparison will be efficient, let's determine the equation of the two points and the x intercept .

(–2, –9) and (4, 6)

Gradient= (6--9)/(4--2)

Gradient= (6+9)/(4+2)

Gradient= 15/6

Gradient= 5/2

Choosing (–2, –9)

The equation of the line

(Y+9)= 5/2(x+2)

2(y+9)= 5(x+2)

2y +18 = 5x +10

2y =5x -8

Y= 5/2x -4

Choosing (4, 6)

The equation of line

(Y-6)= 5/2(x-4)

2(y-6) = 5(x-4)

2y -12 = 5x -20

2y = 5x-8

Y= 5/2x -4

From the above solution it's clear that the only thing the both equation have in common to the given equation is -4 which is the y intercept
