2. y=2x+3
When x =0 and y= something, the 'something' is your y-intercept which is b in the y=mx+b formula. Then we look at what is changed in the x and y value to determine the m part. the x increase by 1 and y increase by 2 so the m part is 2.
3. y=-7x
Same as the last one, there is no y-inter this time because the y=0 when x=0/ So the y deceased by 7 each time and x incease by 1 so it is -7 for the m part.
It’s the light blue one!!!
here the equation of path is -2x-7=y
let us find slope of this line by using y=mx+b
so slope m=-2
now new path is perpendicular to this path.
product of slopes of perpendiculars is -1
so slope of new path is 1/2
now it passes through (-2,-3) with slope 1/2
using y=mx+b to get value of b
-3=1/2(-2) +b
b=-2
plugging m=-1/2 and b=-2 in y=mx + b to get the final equation as
y=(-1/2) x -2 is the equation of new path
a.
In order to find the common ratio, we just need to divide a term by the term that comes before it.
So using the terms 20 and -5, we have:

b.
The recursive rule can be found with the formula:

Where an is the nth term and q is the ratio. So we have:

c.
The explicit rule can be written as:

Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term and q is the ratio. So:
