Y = mx+b m is slope x is a point you choose and b is the y intercept.
The student will have $135 in her bank account at the end of the ninth week. You can fine this out by finding out the amount she deposits a week and to do this you would take the $30 and divide it by 2 because she had $30 at the end of the second week.
30/2=15
So you see that the student deposits $15 each week, so to find out how much money she will have in 9 weeks you will multiply her $15 by 9.
15x9=135
So the student will have $135 at the end of the ninth week.
Answer: The common ratio is -1/3
-----------------------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
Pick any term to divide it by the previous term. I'm going to pick the second term and divide it by the first term.
r = common ratio
r = (term 2) divided by (term 1)
r = (4/9) divided by (-4/3)
r = (4/9) * (-3/4)
r = (4*(-3))/(9*4)
r = -12/36
r = -1/3
The common ratio is -1/3
This means you multiply each term by -1/3 to get the next term
For instance
term 2 = r*(term 1)
term 2 = (-1/3)*(-4/3)
term 2 = ((-1)*(-4))/(3*3)
term 2 = 4/9
