Compute successive differences of the terms.
If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.
If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.
Example of arithmetic sequence:
1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.
Example of geometric sequence:
1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.

Answer:
he will walk about 8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle:
(h,k) - the coordinates of the centre
r - the radius
I personally use y2-y1 over x2-x1 because it's simple. Plot two y values and two x values. The first ones you plotted are x1 and y1, the others are x2 y2. Now subtract y2-y1 and x2-x1. Afterwards, divide the y value by the x value, that will give you slope.
