Step-by-step explanation:
To get the equation in the slope-intercept form first, put the equation in slope-point form using the information given. The slope-point form is
. Then solve for y.
Distribute -3 to
,

Then, add -2 to both sides,

This is your final answer; the slope is -3 and the y-intercept is 4. There are also a few other ways to solve but I find this the easiest.
If you mean unit rate you find it by dividing the top number by the bottom number to fin the singular number or unit rate.
Standard formula for arithmetic sequence:
an = a0 + d(n-1)
if we use the two terms given, setting a12 as starting term and a45 as the end term an.
170 = 38 + 33d
170 - 38 = 33d
132 = 33d
132/33 = d
This is the common difference, use it to find the first term.
38 = a0 + (132/33)(12-1)
38 = a0 + (132/33)(11)
38 = a0 + 132/3
38 - 132/3 = a0
38 - 44 = a0
-6 = a0
The starting term is -6
