Hello!

To the value of b, or the y-intercept, we need to substitute an ordered pair/point into the given equation.

Since we are given two points, we can use those two points to find two different equations.

Remember that ordered pairs are written as (x, y).

A(-2, 4)

y = -3x + b

4 = -3(-2) + b

4 = 6 + b (subtract 6 from both sides)

-2 = b

A) Therefore, the equation of the first ordered pair is y = -3x - 2.

B(5, 2)

2 = -3(5) + b

2 = -15 + b (add 15 to both sides)

17 = b

B) The equation of the second ordered pair is y= -3x + 17.

<u>Final answers</u>:

A) y = -3x - 2
B) y = -3x + 17

X=5/2 , remove parentheses , collect like terms, move terms , collect like terms and calculate the sum , then divide both sides by 2 , hope this helped broski

What is the sum of the first 37 terms of the arithmetic sequence?

lidiya [134]

Answer:

The sum of the first 37 terms of the arithmetic sequence is 2997.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence concepts:

The general rule of an arithmetic sequence is the following:

$a_{n+1} = a_{n} + d$

In which d is the common diference between each term.

We can expand the general equation to find the nth term from the first, by the following equation:

$a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)*d$

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$S_{n} = \frac{n(a_{1} + a_{n})}{2}$

In this question:

$a_{1} = -27, d = -21 - (-27) = -15 - (-21) = ... = 6$

We want the sum of the first 37 terms, so we have to find $a_{37}$

$a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)*d$

$a_{37} = a_{1} + (36)*d$

$a_{37} = -27 + 36*6$

$a_{37} = 189$

Then

$S_{37} = \frac{37(-27 + 189)}{2} = 2997$

The sum of the first 37 terms of the arithmetic sequence is 2997.
