Answer: y = - 4x/3 + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = y intercept

m represents the slope of the line.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

The line passes through (6, 4) and (3, 8),

y2 = 8

y1 = 4

x2 = 3

x1 = 6

Slope,m = (8 - 4)/(3 - 6) = 4/- 3 = - 4/3

To determine the y intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = 8 and m= - 4/3 into y = mx + c. It becomes

8 = - 4/3 × 3 + c

8 = - 4 + c

c = 8 + 4

c = 12

The equation becomes

y = - 4x/3 + 12

What is the recursive rule for an=4n−1? a1=4;an=an−1−1 a1=3;an=an−1+4 a1=−1;an=an−1+4 a1=3;an=an−1−1
navik [9.2K]
Plug in n = 1 into the nth term formula
a(n) = 4n-1
a(1) = 4*1-1
a(1) = 3
So the first term is 3

The second term will be 7 because we add on 4 each time, as indicated by the slope of 4. This is also known as the common difference.

So the nth term is found by adding 4 to the (n-1)st term, in other words,
a(n) = a(n-1)+4

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

In summary, the answer is 
a1=3; an=an-1+4
which is choice B
