Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first term is a and common difference is d.
<u>The nth term is:</u>
<u>We have:</u>
<u>The difference of these terms is:</u>
- (a + 8d) - (a + 5d) = 16 - 15
- 3d = 1
- d = 1/3
<u>Then the first term is:</u>
- a + 5*1/3 = 15
- a = 15 - 5/3 = 13 1/3
<u>The nth term equation is:</u>
- aₙ = 13 1/3 + 1/3(n - 1) = 1/3n + 13
<u>If the nth term is 22, find n:</u>
- 1/3n + 13 = 22
- 1/3n = 22 - 13
- 1/3n = 9
- n = 9*3
- n = 27
Answer: y=1/3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=Mx+b
1/3 is rise over run
-2 is the y intercept
Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
A fun way of solving it is by turning your image 90 degrees, and observing the original figure. You can also solve it by checking the points.
(I am sorry if this wasn't very good.)
Answer:
A.
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. When adding a negative number to a positive, you subtract. 2.3 - 2.3 will equal 0.
B. When adding two negative numbers, you get an even smaller negative number. (-3.7) + (-4.1) = -7.8
C. When subtracting a negative number, the two negative signs become a positive. -12/4 is equal to 3. -2.6 + 3 is 0.4, which is positive.
D. 5/2 is the same as 2.5. If you subtract 2.5 from 2.5, you will get 0, which is not negative.
E. Two negative signs make a positive, so 72 + 100 is positive, not negative.
