I would think that all but one point would be on the line.  One way to approach this problem is to find the equation of the line based upon any two points chosen at random, and then determine whether or not the other points satisfy this equation.  Next time, would you please enclose the coordinates of each point inside parentheses:  (2.5,14), (2.25,12), and so on, to avoid confusion.
                                                               14-12
slope of line thru 1st 2 points is   m = ----------------  =  2/0.25 = 8
                                                              2.50-2.25

What is the eqn of the line:     y = mx + b becomes

                                               14 = (8)(2.5) + b; find b:

14-20 = b = -6.  Then,   y = 8x - 6.

Now determine whether (12,1.25) lies on this line.  

Is 1.25 = 8(12) - 6?  Is 1.25 = 90?  No.  So, unless I've made arithmetic mistakes, (1.25, 5) does not lie on the line thru (2.5,14) and (2.25,12).

Why not work this problem out yourself using my approach as a guide?

Jade invested $13,500 at 5.2% interest, compounded semiannually, and she wants to know how much her investment will be worth in
rodikova [14]
Part 1: <span>What is the periodic interest rate of jade investment?

Each compounding period is done semi-annually, which means twice a year. Since the given interest rate is annual, then 5.2% divided by half should yield the period interest rate, which is 2.6%

Part 2: </span><span>How many compounding periods does Jade's investment offer in a year? how about in 8 years?

In 1 year, there are 2 compounding periods. In 2 years, there are 16 compounding periods.</span>

Please help me, A candle is in the shape of a frustum (a cone with the top cut off). Calculate the volume of the candle to the n
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Height = 8 cm

You will need this formula (see attached):

Volume = [PI * 8 * (2² + 2*4 + 4²)]  / 3

Volume = [3.14159265 * 8 * (4 + 8 + 16)] / 3

Volume = 234.57 cubic centimeters

anzhelika [568]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  arithmetic; common difference of 5

Step-by-step explanation:

It usually works well to check differences first. Here, they are ...

  8 -3 = 5

  13 -8 = 5

These are the same value, so the sequence is arithmetic with a common difference of 5.
