Answer:
= 6n - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is
8 - 2 = 14 - 8 = 6
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 2 and d = 6 , thus
= 2 + 6(n - 1) = 2 + 6n - 6 = 6n - 4
Thus the formula representing the sequence is
= 6n - 4
To find the slope, use the slope(m) formula:
and plug in the two points
(0, 5) = (x₁, y₁)
(-9, -4) = (x₂, y₂)
[two negatives cancel each other out and become positive]
m = 1 The slope is 1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope-intercept formula: where m is slope and b the y-intercept.
Use the slope formula for when you have two points:
Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Insert values:
Simplify parentheses (negative+negative=positive)
Simplify
2 is the slope:
Now use one of the points to find the y-intercept by substituting the x and y values into the equation. Solve for b:
(4,7)
The y-intercept is -1. Insert into the equation. Change the + symbol to -:
Done.
