Answer:
(x1, y1) = (3, 1)
(x2, y2) = (2,4)
the slope is
m= y2−y1/x2−x1 = 4-1/2-3 = 3/-1 = <u>-3</u>
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:

Let

where we assume |r| < 1. Multiplying on both sides by r gives

and subtracting this from
gives

As n → ∞, the exponential term will converge to 0, and the partial sums
will converge to

Now, we're given


We must have |r| < 1 since both sums converge, so


Solving for r by substitution, we have


Recalling the difference of squares identity, we have

We've already confirmed r ≠ 1, so we can simplify this to

It follows that

and so the sum we want is

which doesn't appear to be either of the given answer choices. Are you sure there isn't a typo somewhere?
