Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first

36/72 = 1/2

To find the next term, take the last term and multiply by the common ratio

18*1/2 = 9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio = 36/72 = 18/36 = 1/2.

So the next term is 18 * 1/2 = 9.

Write the linear equation in slope intercept form 1,3 and -3,-5

oksian1 [2.3K]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have two points through which the line passes:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 1,3)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 3, -5)$

We found the slope:

$m = \frac{y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}$

Substituting we have:

$m = \frac {-5-3} {- 3-1} = \frac {-8} {- 4} = 2$

Thus, the equation is of the form:

$y = 2x + b$

We substitute one of the points and find the cut-off point:

$3 = 2 (1) + b\\3 = 2 + b\\3-2 = b\\b = 1$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = 2x + 1$

ANswer:

$y = 2x + 1$

What is the perimeter of rectangle with vertices located at (- 3, - 1), (5, - 1), (5, 9) and (- 3, 9) on the coordinate ?

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

32 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the width and the length:

One side = √[(-1 - (-1)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2]

= √(0 + 64)

= 8.

The adjacent side = √(9-9)^2 + (-3-5)^2

= 8.

Perimeter - 4 *8 = 32 units^2.
