Answer:
-84
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the nth term of a geometric progression is
Un = ar^n- 1
The sum of the first six terms of a geometric series (U6) = 21/16
Common ratio = -1/2 ,
a = First term ??
21/16 = a × (-1/2 )^6- 1
21/16 = a ×(-2^-1)^5
21/16 = a × -2^-6
Cross Multiply
16 × a × -2^-6 = 21
a = 21/16 × -2^-6
a = 21/16 ×- 1/2⁶
a = 21/16 × -1/64
a = 21 ÷(-1/4)
a = 21 × -4
a = -84
The first term = 84
So since x coordinates are same, we just have a horizontal distance to find (no fancy slanted lines)
so what you do is
|y1-y2|=distance
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the distance formula to solve.

So we have to find b we are going to try to isosiate b
4b - 3 > -1 now we are going to isosiate the b so add 3 from both side and get 4b > 2
