Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We want to find the equation of a line in y-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where x and y are a point on the line, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
We already know that our slope is -3.
y=-3x+b
We want to solve for b now. We can plug in our point (-9,-9) to solve for it.
-9=-3(-9)+b
-9=27+b
b=-36
So, our equation is y=-3x-36.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer:
3/18
Step-by-step explanation:
To put this into an equation, we can make x the amount of two year old's there are.
x+2x+2x=45
5x=45
x=9
9 two year old's, 18 three year old's, and 18 four year old's.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a geometric sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common ratio,r. Considering the given sequence,
r = 6/- 2 = - 18/6 = - 3
Therefore, the sequence is geometric.
The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as
Tn = ar^(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
r represents the common ratio.
n represents the number of terms.
From the information given,
a = - 2
r = - 3
The explicit formula is
Tn = - 2 × (- 3)^(n - 1)
To find the 8th term, T8,
T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^(8 - 1)
T8 = - 2 × (- 3)^7
T8 = - 2 × - 2187
T8 = 4374
