The point on the line, -1/3, shows the opposite of 1/3, or the opposite of the opposite of -1/3
Hey there!
A common ratio is just that number that you multiply or divide to each number that gets you the next in a geometric sequence. In this sequence, we know the numbers are getting bigger and we're multiplying, so we want to know what you're multiplying by the first number to get to the second. We can call this unknown number x. SO if we start with the first number and set up an equation, we get:
3x = 12
Divide both sides by 3
x = 4
Therefore, your common ratio is 4.
To check, you can multiply all the next numbers by 4 to see that it all checks out.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute x =
into the expression
6x - 2
= 6 ×
- 2
= 5 - 2
= 3
Hmmm so, parallel lines have the same slope, so a line that's parallel to <span>y=1/3x-5, will also have the same slope as that one, what would that be anyway? </span>

, well, low and behold, since that equation is in slope-intercept form already, we can see is just 1/3.
<span>
so, what is the equation of a line whose slope is 1/3 and runs through 3, -7?

Answer:
The least number of stamps required is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of
cent stamps be
and
cent stamps be 
We have

The minimum number is obtained when more
cent stamps are used
Here
cannot be greater than
since 
Substitute 

Not possible since
is not a fraction
Substitute 

Not possible since
is not a fraction
Substitute 

Possible
Hence minimum number of stamps is
