Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line between the two points by using the slope formula, m  = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

m = \frac{(0)-(-5)}{(-2)-(10)} \\m = \frac{0+5}{-2-10} \\m=\frac{5}{-12}

Thus, the slope of the line is -\frac{5}{12}.

2) Next, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for m, x_1, and y_1 in the formula.

Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{5}{12} in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, it will equal the same thing) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (-2,0), as seen below.) Then, isolate y and expand the right side in the resulting equation to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

y-(0)=-\frac{5}{12} (x-(-2))\\y-0 = -\frac{5}{12} (x+2)\\y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}

What is the rule for the given sequence? 3, 8, 23, 68, 203,
EleoNora [17]

Answer: Add the number previously added multiplied by 3;

+3x, where x is the number that was added previously

Step-by-step explanation:

3+5=8. That's the first equation, where 5 is x. Then the next equation, 8+3x=23. 8+15=23. It works for all of the equations, so that's the pattern.
