3/5a = 1/4....multiply both sides by 5/3, cancelling out the 3/5 on the left
a = 1/4 * 5/3
a = 5/12
the line is negative because it goes down as you move right
slope = rise/run = 4/2 = 2
y = 2x+b
use a point on the line - I picked (-4, 3)
3 = 2(-4)+b
3 = -8+b
11 = b
<h2>
y = 2x +11</h2>
X+x+20+2x=180
4x+20=180
4x=160
x=40
Answer:
or
Step-by-step explanation:
-7,-3,1,5,... is a arithmetic sequence.
Arithmetic sequences have a common difference. That is, it is going up by 4 each time.
When you see arithmetic sequence, you should think linear equation.
The point-slope form of a line is .
m is the common difference, the slope.
Any they are using the point at x=1 in the point slope form. So they are using (1,-7).
So let's put this into our point-slope form:
Subtract 7 on both sides:
So your answer is
