Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solving this problem is verifying if this sequence is an arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence.
This sequence is arithmetic if:

We have that:




This is not an arithmetic sequence.
This sequence is geometric if:




This is a geometric sequence, in which:
The first term is 40, so 
The common ratio is
, so
.
We have that:

The 10th term is
. So:



Simplifying by 4, we have:

Y=mx+b helps to find slope of a line.
B is where it starts on the y axis.
m is the slope.
Answer:
-5/2(3x+4)<6-3x (multiply with -5/2)
-15/2x-10<6-3x (multiply with 2)
-15x-20<12-6x (change sides)
-15x+6x<12+20
-9x<12+20
-9x<32
x>-32/9
Hope this will help u :)
-77 is the correct answer. Hope this helped. Comment if you would like a more detailed answer.
I'm fairly certain the answer is 1/3.
