Answer:a=first term

d=common difference

here,a=85,d=-7

tn=a+(n-1)d

tn=85+(n-1)-7

tn=85+(7n+7)

92-7n=0

7n=92

n=92/7

n=13.14

n=13

Sn=(n/2)(2a+(n-1)d)

sn=13/2(2*85+(13-1)(-7)

sn=(170+(12*-7)

sn=170-84

sn=13/2*86

sn=559

Step-by-step explanation:looks like it is 7 minus previous number. So, unfortunately 7 does not divide into 85 nicely. 7*12 = 84. So, how every many numbers there are — does it stop at positive numbers only? If not, then it is negative infinity… .

85+78+71+64+57+50+43+36+29+22+15+8+1 = 559

p.s. I tried to be clever with summations (there are 13 numbers) and ran into trouble. Probably the ‘1’ at the end or the 85 at the beginning ... … 7*(summation of 1 to 13) plus an offset to account for the not divisible by 12 exactly. Didn’t work, and it was easier to just do the subtractions and add them together.

Which is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-1,9) and (4, 24)?
choli [55]

Answer:

y = 3x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) = 24-9/4-(-1)

= 25/5

= 3

Using point (-1 , 9)

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 9 = 3 (x - -1)

y - 9 = 3 (x + 1)

y - 9 = 3x + 3

y = 3x + 3 + 9

y = 3x + 12

Find equation of the line that contains the point (4,-2) and is perpendicular to the line y= _2x+8
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, they have opposite slopes.

The first line is y = -2x + 8. Its slope is -2. A line perpendicular to this one will  have a slope of 1/2.

Plug this value (1/2) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = 1/2x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (4, -2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

-2 = 1/2(4) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (4)

-2 = 2 + b

Now, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate b.

-4 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = 1/2x - 4

This equation is perpendicular to your given equation (y = -2x + 8) and contains point (4, -2)

Hope this helps!
