the answer is 3.
Difference means subtract and each time youre subtracting 3 from the previous number
Answer:
x -y =4
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (1- -4)/(5 - 0)
= (1+4)/(5-0)
5/5
= 1
Then we can use slope intercept form
The slope is 1 and the y intercept is -4
y = mx+b
y = 1x-4
We want it in standard form
Ax + By = C where A is a positive integer
Subtract x from each side
-x +y = -4
Multiply by -1
x -y =4
Both of the fractions can be added since they both have 8 as the denominator 3/8+5/8=8/8 which is a whole.
Answer:
(a) -7 , - 9 , - 11
(b) Arithmetic sequence
(c) There is a common difference of -2
(d) -53
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) To find the next three terms , we must firs check if it is arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence . For it to be an arithmetic sequence , there must be a common difference :
check :
-3 - (-1) = -5 - (-3) = -7 - (-5) = -2
This means that there is a common difference of -2 , which means it is an arithmetic sequence.
The next 3 terms we are to find are: 5th term , 6th term and 7th term.
= a + 4d
= - 1 + 4 ( -2 )
= -1 - 8
= - 9
6th term = a +5d
= -1 + 5(-2)
= -1 - 10
= - 11
= a + 6d
= -1 + 6 (-2)
= -1 - 12
= -13
Therefore : the next 3 terms are : -9 , -11 , - 13
(b) it is an arithmetic sequence because there is a common difference which is -2
(c) Because of the existence of common difference
(d)
= a + 26d
= -1 + 26 ( -2 )
= -1 - 52
= - 53
