Answer:

B. Only (-3,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Plug in the x values from the answer choices and see if it gives you the y-value in the answer choices.

A. y=-3(-2) - 4

= 6 - 4

y = 2

The ordered pair for answer A is (-2,4) where the y-value is 4. Well, when you plugged in -2 for x you got 2, not 4. So A can't be the right answer.

B. y=-3(-3) - 4

= 9- 4

y = 5

The y-value in this ordered pair (-3,5) is indeed 5, so this answer holds true.

Therefore, the answer is B because it is the only ordered pair that has the correct solution.

Find the explicit formula for the general nth term of the arithmetic sequence described below. Simplify the formula and reduce a

NemiM [27]

Answer:

an = 4/3n - 13/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is a1,

a24 = a1 + 23d

83/3 = a1 + 4/3* 23

a1 = 83/3 - 92/3

a1 = -9/3 = -3.

So the nth term an = -3 + 4/3(n - 1)

an = -3 + 4/3 n - 4/3

an = 4/3n - 13/3
