If the sequence is say,
a,b,c,d ,....
then the common ratio r can be found by
r = b/a
or
r = c/b
or
r= d/c
and so on.
Answer:
k = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Lines g(x) and f(x) passes through the points (2, 0), (0, 2) & (4, 0), (0, 4)
Since both the lines are parallel, so slopes of lines g(x) and f(x) would be same.
Therefore,
Slope of line g = Slope of line f = (2-0)/(0 - 2) = 2/-2 = - 1
Equation of line g(x)
For point (0, 2)
y- intercept (b) = 2
y = mx + b
g(x) = - 1x + 2 [y = g(x)]
g(x) = - x + 2
Equation of line f(x)
For point (0, 4)
y- intercept (b) = 4
y = mx + b
f(x) = - 1x + 4 [y = g(x)]
f(x) = - x + 4
It is given that:
g(x) = f(x) + k
g(x) - f(x) = k
(-x + 2) - (-x + 4) = k
-x + 2 + x - 4 = k
2 - 4 = k
-2 = k
k = - 2
The answer is: " y − 1 = - 3(x + 2) " .

<u>Note</u>: The "point-slope form" of the equation of a line is:
→ " y − y₁ = m(x −x₁) " .
We are given the slope, m" , is: " - 3 " ;
We are given a point on the line [on the graph that is represented by this equation]; with the coordinates: " (-2 , 1) " ;
→ which is in the format: " (x₁ , y₁) " ;
→ As such: " x₁ = -2 " ; " y₁ = 1 " ;
_____________________________________________________
As aforementioned, the equation of a line in "point-slope form" ; is:
_________________________________________________________
→ " y − y₁ = m(x − x₁) " ;
in which:
→ "(x₁ , y₁) " represents the coordinates of a given point on the [line of the graph represented by the equation] ; AND:
→ " m " = the slope of the line [represented by the equation] " ;
We proceed by substituting our known values for "m" ; "y₁" ; and "x₁" :
→ " y − 1 = - 3(x − (-2) ) " ;

→ Rewrite as:
_______________________________________________________
→ " y − 1 = - 3(x + 2) " ;
→ which is our answer; since it is written in "point-slope form" .

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
For a relationship to be a function
Each value of x in the domain can only have 1 unique value of y in the range. That is, one-to-one correspondence.
The only relation which meets this criteria is B
