Answer:

f(x) = 8 - 1.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a function that can be used to describe the x th term of the sequence

Mathematically, this can be calculated by looking at the numbers in the sequence

The difference between each successive term

is -1.5 ( 6.5-8, 3.5 -5)

So the formula for then x th term will be;

f(x) = 8 - 1.5x

where x refers to the number of the term , for example the 4th term

Answer:

-1.5x+9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-1.5(1)+9.5=8

-1.5(2)+9.5=6.5

HELP PLEASE!! I NEED HELP ASAP!

Answer:

4. A

5. B

Step-by-step explanation:

4. I'll solve question four first:

The two marked points on the line are (-2, -3)&(2, 5). Using the formula to find slope(y2-y1/x2-x1), substitute in the points.

5--3/2--2 or 8/4;simplified to 2/1 or 2.

Now use point-slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y--3 = 2(x--2): Substitute in the values of y1, m, and x1.

y+3 = 2x + 4: Distribute.

y = 2x + 1: Subtract three from both sides.

5. Do the same for question 5.

The first point is (-4, 2), the second point is (4, -1).

-1-2/4--4; -3/8.

Now use point-slope form:

y-2 = -3/8x -12/8: Substitute in the values of x1, y1, m, and distribute the slope to the parentheses.

y = -3/8x + 1/2

The royals softball team played 75 games and won 55 of them. What percent of the games did they lose (round to the nearest hundr
dimaraw [331]
If they won 55 of the games, that means they lost the rest of the 75.  So,
75 - 55 = 20 games lost.  To find the percentage of 20 out of 75, you set up a proportion:

\frac{20}{75}=\frac{x}{100}

where x = the percentage of games lost.  Cross multiply and divide to isolate the x:

\frac{20}{75}=\frac{x}{100}\\75x=2000\\75x/75=2000/75\\x=26.6666667

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the Royals lost 26.667 % of their games.
