Answer:
The numbers:
1, -3, 2, -9, 3, -15, 4, -21,
are not linear.
Step-by-step explanation:
If it was linear:
4, 3, 2, 1, -3, -9, -15, -21
Answer: k=3
To solve for k, you want to isolate k.
[add both sides by 8]
[multiply both sides by 5/2]
[subtract both sides by 35]
[divide both sides by 5]
Now, we know that k=3.
