Answer:

$y+8=-2(x+5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To create the equation using the point slope form which is $y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )$ substitute the terms with the points given above.

$y-(-8)=-2(x-(-5))\\$

After plugging it in, then you simplify the terms which gives you...

$y+8=-2(x+5)$

Answer:

(a)= option 3

(b)= option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) It is given that a sequence is defined by the recursive function $a_{1}=1$ and $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+n$

Now, substituting the value of n=2 in above equation,

$a_{2}=a_{1}+2$

$a_{2}=1+2$

$a_{2}=3$

Again putting n=3,

$a_{3}=a_{2}+3$

$a_{3}=3+3$

$a_{2}=6$

Putting n=4,

$a_{4}=a_{3}+4$

$a_{4}=6+4$

$a_{4}=10$

Putting n=5,

$a_{5}=a_{4}+5$

$a_{5}=10+5$

$a_{5}=15$

Putting n=6,

$a_{6}=a_{5}+6$

$a_{6}=15+6$

$a_{6}=21$

Putting n=7,

$a_{7}=a_{6}+7$

$a_{7}=21+7$

$a_{7}=28$

Hence, option 3 is correct.

(B) The given sequence is :

5, -10, 20, -40, 80.....

Since, the given sequence is GP, therefore

$a_{1}=5$ and r=-2

The nth term is given by:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

For fifteenth term, put n=15 in above equation, we get

$a_{15}=5(-2)^{14}$

= $5{\times}16384$

= $81920$

Hence, the fifteenth term is 81920.

Option 3 is correct.

Complete question :

Liz's math test included a survey question asking how many hours students spent studying for the test. The scatterplot and regression line below show the relationship between how many hours students spent studying and their score on the test.

The fitted line has a slope of 15.

What is the best interpretation of this slope?

Answer:

C.)

The model predicts that the score will increase 15 points for each additional hour of study time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a regression line represents the rate of change :

From the formula :

Rise / Run = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

The slope is a Coefficient which shows how much the dependent variable changes per unit change in the independent variable.

Hence, for a slope value of +15, which is positive, meaning an increase ; then the score obtained will increase by 15 per additional unit increase in hour of study.
