8 0

Answer:

k=8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve using the slope formula

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

3/5 = (k-2)/(4- -6)

3/5 = (k-2)/(4+6)

3/5 = (k-2)/10

Multiply each side by 10

10*3/5 = (k-2)/10 *10

6 = k-2

Add 2 to each side

6+2 = k-2+2

8 = k

This is a linear equation in x.

So you need to group like terms

$1 + 4x = - 5 + 7x$
Let us group the x terms on the Right Hand Side of the equation and the constant terms on the Left Hand Side.

$1 + 5 = 7x - 4x$
We can now simplify

$6 = 3x$
Now let us divide both sides by 3.

$\frac{6}{3} = \frac{3x}{3}$

This implies that

$2 = x$
or

$x = 2$
Let us our answer

$1 + 4(2) = - 5 + 7(2)$

$1 + 8 = - 5 + 14$
$9 = 9$
Good we are right

A geometric sequence is defined by the equation an = (3)3 − n.

Delvig [45]

PART A

The geometric sequence is defined by the equation

$a_{n}=3^{3-n}$

To find the first three terms, we put n=1,2,3

When n=1,

$a_{1}=3^{3-1}$

$a_{1}=3^{2}$

$a_{1}=9$
When n=2,

$a_{2}=3^{3-2}$
$a_{2}=3^{1}$

$a_{2}=3$

When n=3

$a_{3}=3^{3-3}$

$a_{3}=3^{0}$
$a_{1}=1$
The first three terms are,

$9,3,1$

PART B

The common ratio can be found using any two consecutive terms.

The common ratio is given by,
$r= \frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}$
$r = \frac{3}{9}$

$r = \frac{1}{3}$

PART C

To find
$a_{11}$

We substitute n=11 into the equation of the geometric sequence.

$a_{11} = {3}^{3 - 11}$

This implies that,

$a_{11} = {3}^{ - 8}$

$a_{11} = \frac{1}{ {3}^{8} }$

$a_{11}=\frac{1}{6561}$

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 6x - y = 1. Fully

NNADVOKAT [17]

So use -a/b and you get 6x as the slope and the parallel line would have the same slope
