Answer:
Area is the measure of the amount of surface covered by something. Area formulas for different shapes are sometimes different, but for the most part, area is calculated by multiplying length times width. This is used when calculating area of squares and rectangles. Once you have the number answer to the problem, you need to figure out the units. When calculating area, you will take the units given in the problem (feet, yards, etc) and square them, so your unit measure would be in square feet (ft.2) (or whatever measure they gave you).

He didn't distribute 1/3 to x and 15 before solving
Answer:
Below, depends if 27 is term number 1 or term number 0. Answered for both cases.
Step-by-step explanation:
The most common sequences are arithmetic and geometric, so lets check those first.
Arithmetic first since its the easiest.
to go from 27 to 21 we subtract 6, if we subtract 6 from 21 again we get to 15, which is what we need, so it is indeed arithmetic.
Explicit formula is basically of the form of y=mx+b with an arithmetic sequence. the m is the common difference and b is the first term minus the common difference. so lets fill those in. y = -6x + 33
Then it usually has n as the x and y f(n) so we'll just put those in
f(n) = -6n + 33
This si as long as the first term is labeled as term number 1 and not term number 0. if you have 27 as term 0 instead just make 33 back to 27, so f(n) = -6n + 27
Let me know if this doesn't make sense.
Answer:
a. y = -1/2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer choice can be determined by finding the slope of the line. The slope is the ratio of rise to run.
__
<h3>slope</h3>
The x-intercept is 4 units left of the y-axis. As the line "runs" those 4 units, it "rises" -2 units to intercept the y-axis at -2. The slope of the line is ...
m = rise/run = -2/4 = -1/2
In the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, the slope is the coefficient of x. This information is sufficient to let us choose the first answer choice.
__
<h3>equation</h3>
The slope-intercept equation is ...
y = mx +b . . . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b
We know the slope is -1/2, and the y-intercept is where x=0, at y=-2. Then the equation is ...
y = -1/2x -2 . . . . . matches choice A

<em>Additional comment</em>
When answering multiple-choice questions, you only need to do enough work to tell which answers are <em>not</em> viable.
When we plot the points, we see that the line has negative slope. (eliminates choice C). The slope is shallow, rather than steep (the x-intercept is farther from the origin than the y-intercept), so the magnitude of the slope is less than 1 and choices B and D are eliminated.
