Answer:
The 4th term of the linear sequence = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First term, a = -9
Common difference, d = -5 - (-9)
= -5 + 9
= 4
d = 4
The 4th term of the linear sequence = a + (n - 1)d
where,
n = 4
a + (n - 1)d
= -9 + (4 - 1)4
= -9 + (3)4
= -9 + 12
= 3
The 4th term of the linear sequence = 3
Answer: 2/6 times 3/5 = 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.

is it asking for linear functions
