Answer:

The slope or incline is -5

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite to get the form

y = ...

x - 5y = -10

- 5y = -10 -x

divide left and right if the = sign by -5 gives:

(-5/-5)y = (-1/-5)x + (-10/-5)

y = 1/5x +2

So the incline is 1/5

a perpendicular line has an incline of -1 *5/1 = -5

The slope or incline is -5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so you gotta use pemdas (p = parentheses, e = exponents, m = multiplication, d = division, a = addition, s = subtraction), but for the multiplication/division and addition/subtraction parts, if division or subtraction happens first then you must do it first rather than doing multiplication or addition first

10 / 2 -(16/4) + 14

10 / 2 -(4) + 14

5 - 4 + 14

1 + 14

What is the nth term of the geometric sequence 4, 8, 16, 32, ... ?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Geometric is
$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$
an=nth term
a1=first term
r=common ratio
n=which term

commmon ratio is like
a1 times r=a2
4 to 8
4 times 2=8
r=2
first term is 4
therefor

$a_n=4(2)^{n-1}$
the nth term is $4(2)^{n-1}$
