C. 14 feet because 4+4+3+3 equals 14
9 - w = 2
9 - 7 = 2
If this is what you mean.
Use the formula slope= y-y/x-x
-10-r/-2-8= 1/10
-10-r/-10= 1/10
Multiply the denominator (-10) on both sides
-10-r= -1
Add -10 to both sides
-r= 9
r= -9
Hope this helps!
The answer is B) There are exactly 4 students with 6 textbooks
an = a1r^(n-1)
a5 = a1 r^(5-1)
-6 =a1 r^4
a2 = a1 r^(2-1)
-48 = a1 r
divide
-6 =a1 r^4
---------------- yields 1/8 = r^3 take the cube root or each side
-48 = a1 r 1/2 = r
an = a1r^(n-1)
an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)
-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1
divide by 1/2
-96 = a1
an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)
the sum
Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]
S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]
=-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]
= 192 * [-131071/131072]
approximately -192
