Answer:

The equation of the line is:

$y = 4x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is

$y = mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the two points on a line

(0, 3)

(-2, -5)

Finding the slope between (0, 3) and (-2, -5)

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(0,\:3\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-2,\:-5\right)$

$m=\frac{-5-3}{-2-0}$

$m=4$

We know that the y-intercept can be computed by setting x=0 and determining the corresponding y-value.

From the graph, it is clear:

at x = 0, y = 3

Thus, y-intercept = b = 3

Substituting m = 4 and b = 3 in the slope-intercept form of line equation

$y = mx+b$

$y = 4x + 3$

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

$y = 4x + 3$

Constructing a brick staircase: A brick staircase has a total of 30 steps. The bottom step requires 100 bricks. Each successive

galben [10]

A) The first step needs 100 bricks, the second needs 98, the third needs 96, and so on. Therefore the number of bricks for the nth step is: a_n = a_1 + d(n-1), where a_1 = 100 (the first term), d = -2 (difference).
a_n = 100 - 2(n-1) = 102 - 2n, and for the 30th step, a_30 = 102 - 2*30 = 42. So the top step will need 42 bricks.

b) The total staircase will need: 100 + 98 + 96 + ... + 44 + 42, and there are n = 30 terms. Using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence:
S = (a_1 + a_n)*n/2 = (100 + 42)*30/2 = 2130
Therefore, 2130 bricks are required to build the entire staircase.
