We have this equation for the slope is: y=mx+b which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so we have y=20-15x or y=-15x+20, and we already know that the slope is -15 and y-intercept is 20. As a result, the student's error is that he thinks that 20 is the slope because it is the first number. Hope it help!
The answer is D. x-axis, because of the layout of (x,y), meaning there would be an x value of -10, but no y value so it would sit on the x-axis
Since it is a geometric sequence each term will be a specific multiple of the term preceding it, called the common ratio...
126/42=378/126=1134/378=3
The sequence is a(n)=a(3)^(n-1) and we know the second term is 42 so:
42=a(3)^(2-1)
42=3a
a=14
So the first term is 14.
Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to get it in Point-Slope form, or
y = mx + b
Isolate y by subtracting 6x
You are left with:
y = -6x + 24
M is the slope, so in this case, it is -6
