Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line given two points can be found using slope formula:

$\frac{(y_{2}-y_{1})}{(x_{2}-x_{1})}$

Given two points (-2, 0) and (0, 4):

$x_{1}=-2 \\x_{2}=0\\y_{1}=0\\y_{2}=4$

Plug them into the equation:

$\frac{(4-0)}{(0--2)}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{If}\ a,\ b,\ c,\ d,\ e,\ ...\ \text{is a geometric sequence, then}\ \dfrac{b}{a}=\dfrac{c}{b}=\dfrac{d}{c}=\dfrac{e}{d}=....\\\\\#1\\\\\dfrac{7.5}{10}=0.75\\\dfrac{5.625}{7.5}=0.75\\\dfrac{4.21875}{5.625}=0.75\\\boxed{YES}\\================================\\$

$\#2\\\\\dfrac{40}{160}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\dfrac{10}{40}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\dfrac{2.5}{10}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\boxed{YES}\\================================\\$

$\#3\\\\\dfrac{70}{20}=3.5\\\dfrac{245}{70}=3.5\\\dfrac{857.5}{245}=3.5\\\boxed{YES}\\================================\\$

$\#4\\\\\dfrac{16.5}{13}=\dfrac{165}{130}=\dfrac{33}{26}\\\dfrac{20}{16.5}=\dfrac{200}{165}=\dfrac{40}{33}\neq\dfrac{33}{26}\\\boxed{NO}\\================================\\$
