If you have a slope of -4 then it would be -4/1 because rise/run. If it were -4/-1 then the slope would be 4.
Hope this helps
Given a term in a geometric sequence and the common ratio find the first five terms, the explicit formula, and the recursive formula. Given two terms in a geometric sequence find the 8th term and the recursive formula. Determine if the sequence is geometric. If it is, find the common ratio.
Answer: Marc still owes $175
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of the rug.
Marc ordered a rug and gave a deposit of 30% of the cost and will pay the rest when the rug is delivered. This means that the amount of money that he deposited
for the rug is
30/100 × x = 0.3 × x = 0.3x
If the deposit was $75, it means that
0.3x = 75
x = 75/0.3 = 250
The cost of the rug is $250
The amount that Marc still owes would be
250 - 75 = $175
