<h3>Answer: C) -81/2</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

a = -27 = first term

r = 1/3 = common ratio, note how this is between -1 and 1

We start with -27 and multiply by 1/3 each time to get the next term

S = infinite sum

S = a/(1-r), which only works because -1 < r < 1 is true

S = -27/(1-1/3)

S = -27/(2/3)

S = (-27/1) divided by (2/3)

S = (-27/1) times (3/2)

S = (-27*3)/(1*2)

S = -81/2

As you generate and add up the terms of the sequence, the infinite sum slowly starts to approach -81/2 = -40.5; we'll never actually achieve this sum exactly. Think of it as approaching an asymptote.

Find an equation of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points.
julia-pushkina [17]

For this graph the equation is x= -3

Because in the coordinates you gave, all the x values are -3 telling me that the line is a straight vertical line passing through the -3 x-axis and has no y-intercept as it's a vertical line, not diagonal, so it's not passing through the y-axis. Plus because of this too this line has no gradient.
