Answer:

y = (7/2)x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope-intercept formula for linear equations y = mx + b

x and y show what points are on the line. We know (4, 12). x= 4 and y = 12

b is the y-intercept, which b = -2.

m is the slope.

To write the equation, you need the slope and y-intercept. Find the slope by putting x, y and b into the formula.

y = mx + b

12 = 4m - 2

14 = 4m

14/4 = m

m = 7/2

Put "m" into the formula with "b"

y = (7/2)x - 2

Determine 4th term in the geometric sequence whose first term is -2 and whose common ration is -5.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

$a_{4}$ = 250

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain any term in the geometric sequence multiply the previous term by the common ratio r

here r = - 5 and $a_{1}$ = - 2, hence

$a_{2}$ = - 2 × - 5 = 10

$a_{3}$ = 10 × - 5 = - 50

$a_{4}$ = - 50 × - 5 = 250

Ignore the stuff underneath I did it in pen and messed up.

Vinil7 [7]

U didn't mess up....
V = pi * r^2 * h....divide both sides by (pi)r^2
V / (pi)r^2 = h

Klaus was replacing the roof on his house. He used 420 nails to attach all the pieces of wood. Each piece of wood needed 7 nails

jeyben [28]

Multiply 40x7 then subtract that total you got from multiplying 40x7 with 420

40x7=160

420-160=260

260 pieces of wood were left.
