Answer:
1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
If a and b are two numbers, then their arithmetic mean is

Given:

Divide this equation by 10:

Now, divide it by 2:

Answer:
the slope is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that you are given two points to use for the slope calculation:

So we use the formula for the slope of a line given two points:

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
a(n) = (-n)^3 where n = 1,2,3,...
Discussion:
The pattern 1,8,27, 64... is immediately recognizable as the the cube of the positive integers. But this question has a minus sign appearing before each entry, suggesting we try this:
- 1 = (-1)^3
-8 = (-2)^3
-27 = (-3)^3
-64 = (-4)^3
That's what the problem statement asked for
. The answer is equivalently
-1 * (n^3)
Thank you,
MrB

if we were to solve both equations for "y", we'd get

notice, the 1st equation is really the 2nd in disguise, since both lines are just pancaked on top of each other, every point in the lines is a solution or an intersection, and since both go to infinity, well, there you have it.
