It would be 9 because 2x9=18. Then 18+-2=16.
Answer:
The slope is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given



Required
The slope (m)
Slope is calculated as:

So, we have:



Formula of the sum of the 1st nth term in a Geometric Progression:
Sum = a₁(1-rⁿ)/(1-r), where a₁ = 1st term, r = common ratio and n= rank nth of term (r≠1)
Sum = (-11)[1-(-5⁸)] /[(1-(-5)]
Sum = (-11)(1- 390625)/(6)
SUM = 716,144
-3x^2+12x-15=0
-3x^2+12x =15
-3x^2+12x+36=15
