Answer:

m=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

plug in the points in the formula y2-y1/x2-x1

I suggest getting m a t h w a y its a website and app thats useful.. and good.. and I like it

-2

explanation

the slope can be found through m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

with the points (-5, -2) and (-1, -10)

x1 = -5

x2 = -1

y1 = -2

y2 = -10

m = (-10 - -2) / (-1 - -5)

m = -8 / 4

m = -2

the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 2 and the sum of the first 15 terms is 292.5. Find the common difference

adelina 88 [10]

Given:

First term of an arithmetic sequence is 2.

Sum of first 15 terms = 292.5

To find:

The common difference.

Solution:

We have,

First term: $a=2$

Sum of first 15 terms: $S_{15}=292.5$

The formula of sum of first n terms of an AP is

$S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]$

Where, a is first term and d is common difference.

Putting $S_{15}=292.5$ , n=15 and a=2 in the above formula, we get

$292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[2(2)+(15-1)d]$

$292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[4+14d]$

$292.5=15[2+7d]$

Divide both sides by 15.

$\dfrac{292.5}{15}=2+7d$

$19.5=2+7d$

$19.5-2=7d$

$17.5=7d$

Dividing both sides by 7, we get

$\dfrac{17.5}{7}=d$

$2.5=d$

Therefore, the common difference is 2.5.

Work out the size of one of the exterior angles

hodyreva [135]

Given Information :-

⠀

A polygon with 10 sides ( Decagon )

⠀

To Find :-

⠀

The value of one of the exterior angles

⠀

Formula Used :-

⠀

$\qquad \diamond \: \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \sf Exterior ~angle = \dfrac {360^\circ}{no. ~of~sides}}}} \: \star$

⠀

Solution :-

⠀

Putting the given values, we get,

⠀

$\sf \dashrightarrow Exterior ~angle = \dfrac{360 ^\circ}{10} \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow Exterior ~angle = \frac{36 \cancel{0}^\circ}{ \cancel{10}} \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow Exterior ~angle = \underline{ \boxed{ \frak{ \red{36^\circ}}}} \: \star \\ \\$
