Answer:

The slope is -2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

9y + 2x = 54

Solve for y to get the equation in the form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 2x from each side

9y + 2x -2x = -2x+54

9y = -2x+54

Divide by 9

9y/9 = -2x/9 + 54/9

y = -2/9 x +6

The slope is -2/9

Parallel lines have the same slope

40, 10, 5/2 5/8... (fractions) is it arithmetic or geometric and what are the next two terms PLZ HELP DUE IN 10 MINS

patriot [66]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

$40,\:10,\:\frac{5}{2},\:\frac{5}{8}$

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

$\:a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

$\frac{10}{40}=\frac{1}{4},\:\quad \frac{\frac{5}{2}}{10}=\frac{1}{4},\:\quad \frac{\frac{5}{8}}{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{1}{4}$

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

$r=\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, the given sequence is a geometric sequence.

As the first element of the sequence is

$a_1=40$

Therefore, the nth term is calculated as

$\:a_n=a_0\cdot r^{n-1}$

$a_n=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}$

Put n = 5 to find the next term

$a_5=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{5-1}$

$a_5=40\cdot \frac{1}{4^4}$

$a_5=\frac{40}{4^4}$

$=\frac{2^3\cdot \:5}{2^8}$

$a_5=\frac{5}{2^5}$

$a_5=\frac{5}{32}$

now, Put n = 6 to find the 6th term

$a_6=40\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{6-1}$

$a_6=40\cdot \frac{1}{4^5}$

$a_6=\frac{40}{4^5}$

$=\frac{2^3\cdot \:5}{2^{10}}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{2^7}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{128}$

Thus, the next two terms of the sequence 40, 10, 5/2, 5/8... is:

$a_5=\frac{5}{32}$

$a_6=\frac{5}{128}$
