9,2.5,-4,-10.5,-17

Let's find the difference between two consecutive terms

2.5 - 9 = -6.5

-4 - 2.5 = -6.5

-10.5 - (-4) = -6.5

-17 -(-10.5) = -6.5

We can see that the common difference is -6.5

-6.5 is the common difference between successive terms in the sequence 9,2.5,-4,-10.5,-17

the common difference is negative because we subtract 6.5 to get the next term.

Work out m and c for the line:<br> 2x + 3y +1=0 <br><br>m=<br>c =

Sergio [31]

Answer:

m = - $\frac{2}{3}$ , c = - $\frac{1}{3}$

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 )

Given

2x + 3y + 1 = 0 ( subtract 2x + 1 from both sides )

3y = - 2x - 1 ( divide terms by 3 )

y = - $\frac{2}{3}$ x - $\frac{1}{3}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with m = - $\frac{2}{3}$ and c = - $\frac{1}{3}$
