Answer:

  D.  -2, 1, 4, 7, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence has a common difference between terms. We can see if the offered choices have that characteristic:

  A. .5 -.35 = .15; .85 -.5 = .35 ≠ .15 . . . . not an arithmetic sequence

  B. 0 -5 = -5; -1 -0 = -1 ≠ -5 . . . . not an arithmetic sequence

  C. 3 -2 = 1; 5 -3 = 2 ≠ 1 . . . . not an arithmetic sequence

  D. 1 -(-2) = 3; 4 -1 = 3; 7 -4 = 3; 10 -7 = 3 . . . . common difference of 3, an arithmetic sequence

The appropriate choice is ...

  D.  -2, 1, 4, 7, 10, ...

Answer:

D. -2, 1, 4, 7, 10, . . .

Step-by-step explanation:

A is incorrect because the common difference is not constant.

B is incorrect because the common difference is not constant.

C is incorrect because the common difference is not constant.

D is the correct answer because the common difference is constant.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The common difference for the arithmetic sequence -2, 1, 4, 7, 10, . . . is <em><u>+3</u></em> (positive 3). Why? Because -2<u><em>+3</em></u>=1; 1<u><em>+3</em></u>=4; 4<u><em>+3</em></u>=7; 7<u><em>+3</em></u>=10; . . . How do you find the common difference to know something is an arithmetic sequence? Well, that part is super easy! All you have to do is subtract each number from the number following it in the sequence. For example, what is the common difference in the following sequence of numbers: {1, 4, 7, 10}? Since the difference is the same for each set, you can say that the common difference is 3 (or positive 3) (+3).  If you get the same common difference for all numbers in the sequence, it is constant, meaning that it is an arithmetic sequence.

Hope that helps you!!!

Graph the line with: a slope of -5 and y intercept of 4. PLEASE HELP
worty [1.4K]

The y intercept of 4 means the graph crosses the vertical y axis at 4. More specifically this location is (0,4)

Start at (0,4) and move down 5 units and then move to the right 1 unit. You should arrive at (1,-1). The movement rule of "down 5, over to the right 1" is taken exactly from the slope of -5 = -5/1.

After plotting the two points (0,4) and (1,-1), draw a straight line through them both. Extend this line as far as you can in either direction. The graph is now completed.

<h3>In summary, this line goes through (0,4) and (1,-1)</h3>

Side note: The equation of this line is y = -5x+4. It is in slope intercept form.

<span>A, the highest Y value is 900 from the ordered pair (10,900) so as the least, the graph must go to 900. </span>
