For an arithmetic sequence, the nth term is the first term plus (n-1)×the differece
the first term is 28, the difference between each adjacent number is 8
so -36=(28)+8(n-1)
8(n-1)=64
n-1=8
n=9
the 9th term is -36

Answer:

1. x = -4y ---> y = (-1/4)x

slope = -1/4. y-intercept = (0,0)

2. y = -2x + 4

3. y = (1/3)x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Re-write your equation so that x is on the right and y is on the left:

x = -4y ---> y = (-1/4)x

slope = -1/4. y-intercept = (0,0)

2. y-intercept = (0,4) ----> P1

x-intercrpt = (2,0) ----> P2

slope m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

= (0 - 4)/(2 - 0)

= -2

therefore, y - y1 = mx - x1 ---> y - 4 = -2x

or y = -2x + 4

3. y-intercept = (0,-1)

x-intercept = (3,0)

m = (0 - (-1)) / (3 -0) = 1/3

y - (-1) = (1/3)x - 0 ---> y = (1/3)x - 1

Please help find the greatest common factor for these two problems
vekshin1

A greatest common factor is the largest number that goes into two or more numbers (in this case two). To find the GCF of two numbers, we have to find the prime factorization (how to express a number as a product of prime numbers) and then see which numbers are common in both of the prime factorizations.

13. The prime factorization of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2. The prime factorization of 26 is 2 * 13. Looking at the prime factorizations, we can see that both of them have 2. That means that the GCF is 1 * 2 which is 2.

12. The prime factorization of 105 is 3 * 5 * 7. The prime factorization of -30 is -5 * 6. We see that the number shared 5. That means that the GCF is 5 * 1 or 5.

Which of the following describes the translation of the graph of y = x2 to obtain the graph of y = -x2 - 3?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

reflections across the x axis and a shift down 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2

The negative sign means  it is a reflection across the x axis y = −f(x)

y = -x^2

The subtraction of 3 means we are shifting down 3 units

y = -x^2 -3

At a local school dance, the booster club is having a fundraiser selling pictures. Pictures without frames sell for $5, and with
Sergeu [11.5K]
Let p = pictures only
let f = pictures with frames

p + f = 100
5p + 10f = 875

Solve for one variable in the first equation then plug into the second

p = 100 - f
5(100 - f) + 10f = 875
500 - 5f + 10f = 875
500 + 5f = 875
5f = 375
f = 75

75 pictures with frames were sold
