250 and - 1250
This is a geometric sequence with common ratio r = - 5
multiply each term by - 5 to obtain the next term
- 50 × - 5 = 250
250 × - 5 = - 1250
the sequence is - 2, 10, - 50, 250, - 1250
Lets say your numbers are these...
10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90 and 100
you would add those to get 650
Now how many numbers did you add?
You added 10
so now divided
650 by 10
you get 65
that is the mean of those numbers!
Answer:
y = - 3x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 8)
m =
=
= - 3 , thus
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (2, 1) , then
1 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 6 = 7
y = - 3x + 7 ← equation of line
