Given series is 2.4,-4.8,9.6,-19.2

To find whether it has common difference or common ratio let us find few differences and few ratios of consecutive terms.

Common difference of first 2 terms = 2nd term - first term = -4.8-2.4 = -7.2

Common difference of 2nd and 3rd terms = 3rd term - 2nd term = 9.6-(-4.8) = 14.4

Since those common differences are not equal the given series does not have common difference at all.

To check if it has common ratio or not let us find few ratios of consecutive terms.

Common ratio of first 2 terms = \frac{2nd term}{first term} = \frac{-4.8}{2.4} = -2

Common ratio of 2nd and 3rd terms = \frac{3rd term}{2nd term} = \frac{9.6}{-4.8} = -2.0

So, the given series has common ratio as -2.0

Answer:

Sequence:  Geometric

Common  ratio: -2.0

Proof/Check:

-19.2/9.6 = -2.0

9.6/-4.8 = -2.0

-4.8/2.4 = 2.0

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of 1 and passes through point (5, 3)? A.y = x – 2
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Filling in the given values in point-slope equation
  y = m(x -x₁) +y1
you have
  y = 1(x -5) +3

This simplifies to ...
  A. y = x - 2

Ally and Beck went fishing and caught a total of 75 fish. At home,
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

<em>Beck actually caught 45 fish</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

We call the following variables:

x = number of fish Ally caught

y = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:

x + y = 75      [1]

If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:

3y = 2x + 75      [2]

From [1]:

x = 75 - y      [3]

Substituting in [2]:

3y = 2(75 - y) + 75

Operating:

3y = 150 - 2y + 75

Simplifying:

5y = 225

Dividing by 5:

y = 45

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (1, −3) and (3, −5).
Flura [38]
Slope of a line passing though point (x1,y1) nd (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we have
(1,-3) and (3,-5)
x1=1
y1=-3
x2=3
y2=-5

slope=(-5-(-3))/(3-1)=(-5+3)/(2)=-2/2=-1

slope=-1

Just help please need to pass
Anni [7]

Answer: \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the common denominator

The easiest way to do this is by multiplying the two given denominators, which are 2 and 5.

2 × 5 = 10

So, our common denominator is 10. Then, multiply the numerators of the two fractions by 2 and 5. Here's why:

\frac{3*2}{5*2} = \frac{6}{10}         We multiplied the top and bottom by 2 to make sure our new fraction stays equivalent to the original fraction.

Do the same thing for the other one:

\frac{1*5}{2*5} = \frac{5}{10}

Finally, subtract the two fractions to find the difference between the two times:

\frac{6}{10} -\frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{10}

The reason we used the common denominator is because we can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominator.
